Yesterday I adopted this lovely 10 yr old, male cat. He had been a stray until a year ago when a family took him in then they moved and handed him to a shelter. He has only just been neutered so he is a big bruiser and unfortunately FIV+, but I wanted an indoor cat for company so that didnt matter.
We have had a peaceful night and he has been as good as gold.
What a lovely looking cat! I’m so glad he has found a good home with you and hope you have many happy years together😊
Thank Alb2. Unfortunately it will take a while to cure him of wanting to go outside but I have a conservatory which should make him happy.
Aww he's lovely topaz, reminds me of the cat we had when I was young - his name wasTinker. Hope all goes well. x
I love his white nose and his markings generally. He looks very much at home and such contentment in his eyes. I'm sure you will be very happy together 😺
I hope your cat settles in well topaz (it sounds as if he will) and that he is good company for you. He can look forward to a secure life now. 🙂👍
Oh yes, another happy ending for yet another cat. He's lovely and I'm delighted he has found a loving home. I hope you enjoy many happy years together.Cheers x
He looks like he knows who's boss! Seriously though, he's one lucky cat to be given a loving home.May you have many happy years together 😁
What a lucky cat and well done for giving a rescue animal a good home. If a cat is used to going outdoors though I'm not sure you can retrain him. Can you still let him out a bit? Older cats usually don't want to stay out for a long time as they like their creature comforts too much!
One of the conditions of his adoption is that he is an indoor cat because he could spread the FIV if he gets into a fight - I think it's spread by saliva!
Oh I see. That's different then.
Aww he's gorgeous, a but like my black tom cat.
Hi's just adorable topaz1 and bless you for adopting an older gentleman. So many people pass by on older cats, which is a shame as they are often far less trouble than their younger counterparts. I hope you'll have many happy years together.
This one is turning out to be quite an affectionate boy already. thanks
That's one good lookin' cat. Extra hugs.
Very handsome boy!
Such a handsome cat. Congratulations & good luck.
Good morning Topaz1 what a handsome chap he is and as everyone says well done for rescuing him you’ll have many happy years together.I have four rescues and I love them dearly.x
Wow, looking after 4 cats is quite hard work! I'll stick to one. There are so many animals in rescue centres who would be loving companions given the chance.
Looks like he has been there for years . Looking smug on a lovely soft cushion .
Hi topaz1.....He is so cute and those beautiful eyes. You really are lucky to have him for company. He seems really settled and comfortable. I'll have to show your pic to my two sons. They really want a cat but unfortunately we are not able to get a cat at the moment. Hopefully in the near future. Hope you can enjoy his company for many years to come
Reminds me of Jess the cat from postman Pat
Hi Topaz1. Well done you for adopting him there are so many cats that need a loving home.. He looks very similar to my cat Siren. He was a skinny little kitten when we found him, Now weighs in at around 15lbs. He kept wanting to go out so he now has a harness and lead as we live near a busy road. I didn't take long for him to get used to it.
I wish more folk would adopt rescues, they are so grateful to be given affection and good food. Sylvester does look similar to your lovely Siren. I'm waiting to speak to the Vet to find out my boy's weight - all I can say at the moment is 'heavy'!!!
I adopted an 11yo orange tabby. He walked through my front door, paused for a moment and said, so this is my new digs? Walked around for a while. Stuck his nose in everything. Not a word until he turned to me with that regal air and said, it’ll do. It was his palace forever. He was definitely the cat’s meow. Miss him.❤️🏄♀️
What a lovely story, he sounds gorgeous. It is very hard when life comes to an end and you miss them so much.
Amazing. He has taken over my flat in one day!
