Guyyyys.
Ok, first off, I don’t normally help with rehoming pets for a few reasons - partly because of my requirements as a CKC member, and partly because it would be a full-time job with no pay if I accepted every request for help.
BUTTTTTT
Every now and then a very special animal comes along and I can’t help but help them. This guy is Stitch. He came into rescue with Furball Force Animal Rescue a little while ago. He’s been staying with a friend who is an amazing foster but he’s now neutered and vet checked and ready for adoption. She asked me if I could give him a bath and brush out so he’s clean and ready.
So…I got out the holy water and crucifix cause … bathing cats can be a little wild and needs some divine intervention.
But guys - IS THIS CAT EVEN REAL? He sat in the tub while I bathed him and shampooed him three times. He hung out in a kennel with the dryer on him while I finished up another dog. I put him on the table and finished drying and brushing and dematting him. He purred. He rolled on his side. He never once even hinted that I may be fair game for dinner. He has the absolute best temperament!! If Howard wasn’t such a jerk towards Kaya (my cat) I would have adopted him myself.
He’s available for adoption now. He will need someone committed to maintaining his beautiful locks with daily brushing. The dude has nicer and longer hair than I do. I would hate to see this lovely boy shaved, or allowed to be matted so bad that he would need to be shaved. He tolerated minor dematting yesterday like a champ, and I would never want to put him (or any animal) in a position where they break their sweet disposition for vanity. He is still a little greasy from being in rescue and would likely benefit from another bath in his new home, and then daily brushing and combing should return his skin and coat to a nice condition. I did have to shave his chest and a bit of his belly but that will grow back in.
The rescue thinks he’s around four years old. He’s very affectionate (at least with me he was!), loves head scratches, and was overall very chill. No idea what he’s like with dogs - the rescue has an X but you could enquire about his history/exposure - maybe he’d be fine with a calmer dog.
If you think you can give Stitch the home he deserves please contact the rescue directly. He is also neutered and fully vetted.
