☀️Sunbeam🌤️
Approximately 6 years old lap cat. Needs to live as an only cat. Could be indoor only. Would prefer a calm, adult household.
Sunbeam's history is unknown. She was found, in a very distressed state, on the streets, and it took her a few weeks to calm down.
When she did she became extremely clingy. She is currently in foster and wants to be on top of her fosterer constantly, either on her lap or lying on her with her paws round the fosterer's neck when she nuzzles and purrs.
She would make an excellent companion for someone who is at home a lot - perhaps an elderly person.
Her downsides however are that she hates other cats; she turns difficult at the vets; and she occasionally poos just outside her litter box (however this is becoming more and more infrequent, and probably is connected to her having to share a room with another cat, which she isn't at all happy about).
Please email [email protected] with your name, address and contact phone number to register your interest in Sunbeam. Please allow 5-7 days for a reply as we are short staffed and very busy.
We are prioritising homes that are local to our centre and these are the Canning Town catchment areas: East London, parts of North London and parts of West Essex.
Our cats are rescues, that have either been abandoned, stray, neglected or abused. All homes need to have a home check either by video call or in person and we will provide advice about caring for cats or kittens. This is also a chance for us to see what type of home you can offer to one of our cats and to best match a cat with your home and family.
Following a successful home visit, we will make an appointment for you to come and meet the cats at the shelter and adopt.
