Rupert is still searching🧡
Rupert is an absolutely gorgeous 10-year-old ginger boy who is still searching for his forever home after two reservations have sadly fallen through, absolutely no fault of his own. 🥺🐾
This handsome boy has come such a long way in foster care and it has been incredibly special watching him blossom. Once Rupert feels safe and has had time to build trust, he is the sweetest, most affectionate lovebug. ❤️
He absolutely adores fusses, loves rolling around for attention and has a wonderfully playful side too! He goes absolutely wild for catnip, could play with a dangly toy for hours and loves sitting by the window watching the world go by. If there are treats involved, especially Lick-e-Lix or dreamies, Rupert is definitely your boy! 😂
Rupert can be nervous around new people and unfamiliar surroundings, so he’ll need a quiet, calm home with a cat-savvy adopter who understands that some cats need a little extra time, patience and kindness.
Rupert can also become easily overstimulated when receiving fusses. He is very good at letting you know when he has had enough and may give a little warning smack to say “okay, that’s enough now!”
His adopters will need to be confident in understanding cat body language and recognising his signals, giving him space when he asks for it❤️
Rupert could potentially live with another friendly, suitable cat. He would need to be indoor-only, or have access to a secure catio.
Rupert would need to be in a children free home.
Rupert also has a history of a road traffic accident several years ago which was unfortunately never treated. He has been thoroughly checked over while in our care and is doing really well, but adopters should be aware that he may develop arthritis earlier in life and could require pain relief in the future.
