Title: Home needed for Bumble - Sevenoaks, Kent
Post by: squidgystar on March 30, 2007, 19:41:37 PM
Male, neutered, vac'ed, approx 5 month tabby.

He came to me a week ago as a semi-feral with little or no human contact.  Within a couple of days he was bounding round the room demanding tummy tickles!  He is fine with my sensible 5 yr old daughter, plays happily and has never swiped, though still a little jumpy around sudden movements... with a little care and patience, you can see just how rewarding Bumble is!

I am fostering him for anim-mates, if you are interested in coming to meet him please let me know!

adopting Bumble will require a home check and a min donation to anim-mates, please contact me for further details or see the anim-mates website

He's a little beauty, I have three tabbies, but threes an odd no :sneaky: maybe four sounds better. :evillaugh: I wish, :Luv: Cant see o/h going for it though.  I cant see him without a forever home for long he is lovely.

I always think 4 is a nice number and of course if the cats have tinned food  1 tin does 4 meals just nicely. Well that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

He look adorable, It seems hard to believe that a 5 month old semi feral would come round within a couple of days. I wonder if he did have a home initially.

it's quite possible, I dont know anymore than that about him, I was told he was the most difficult in the trapping/vetting process (he had a brother and sister)... but he just keeps getting more and more friendly... it would be nice to think that he did have a home as he would have been very small over christmas... sad to think of him outside, maybe some kind person was feeding them!

Bumble had to be split from his brother and sister to be socialised and he's desperate for company... whenever he can escape from the living room he trots after my two who both hiss and growl at him, but he has no fear, just sticks his tail as high in the air as he can and tries to make friends!

I walked into my bedroom yesterday and couldnt work out what the low humming noise was, then i realised he'd snuck under the bed and the humming was my other two hiding in drawers growling LOL... he wasn't bothered, he just wanted to be in the cool room with the cool cats!

He also spends ages looking at his own reflection :evillaugh:

just an update... Bumble is coming on leaps and bounds.  He's no longer in the cage and happily plays around the living room trotting up to you for fuss.  He has a gorgeous little purr-meow that makes me think of tinkerbell (not very manly I know).

He's desperate to be around other cats and mine hate him... so if you're looking for a companion for another lonely cat, please consider Bumble.  He'd love some company and is the most affectionate little man I know!

I gotta find a home for bumble soon... a) cos I need to make room for a mum and 3 kittens that were left in a dustbin and b) cos if he stays much longer I'm never going to part lol! :Luv:
