Remember us putting an appeal out in April time to see if we could find anyone with a Bobby shaped hole in their heart and home, well she is still searching for her forever home.
Bobby is by far Cat and Kitten Rescue Middlesbrough’s longest resident in foster. She came in on the 3rd of November after living for a few months on her own as her owner was hospitalised. She was signed over.
Bobby is 8 years old.
Initially Bobby was terrified. Everything was too much for her but they have since worked out her triggers which lead to her being swipy so the following needs have to be taken into consideration.
Bobby needs an ADULT home with no visiting children initially, certainly no young children under the age of 12 will be considered.
No other pets (unless it swims haha!)
A perfect home would be with a single adult, she is a little flirt when she gets going so she does prefer men to women, but it just takes a bit more time if your female.
Patience, she's so much better if you just basically ignore her initially till she finds her feet, she then will start to come to you when she realises that her needs are being met. Ignore the bad behaviour and move away if she is hissy or tries a swipe, praise good behaviour with cheesy dreamies.
This phase can take months... she likes chilling on her own, listening to the radio or the TV, just quiet and relaxed, she does like it if you chat away to her.
Bobby is a strictly indoor cat, she has never known the outdoors.
What can Bobby do for you?
She can provide the most wonderful sense of pride when she comes round, the first time she has a stroke or a purr, that's a serious high.
She is loyal, once she's accepted that she now owns you as her own personal servant, she won't let you down.
She is currently the only cat in the entire rescue that has her own bedroom, she needs more than that now she needs to spread her wings and have a proper wander around....
So if you are interested please please message us so we can pass your details on to the rescue who will tell you all of Bobby's history. As with any rehome it needs to be the right one for her so support will be offered right the way through the process and beyond.
£80 adoption fee and home check applies
