ABOUT ME
Hi, my name’s Arlo and I came into the care of the rescue at just 1 week of age with my siblings after being found in an industrial site by an employee of the building. I was weak/lethargic and with concerns for our welfare, the rescue was called. Workers placed us in a box & a volunteer came to our aid. We’re now affectionately known as ‘box babies’.
Being without a mother and in such poor condition, they were in need an experienced foster carer willing to take on the arduous task of hand raising. Fortunately, the rescue was able to find someone, and their new chapter had begun! Being raised by a mother of the human variety has meant I've have had a very different upbringing to a typical kitten. What do I mean by that? Well, the hand-rearing process has fostered very special relationships between myself and the human companions I keep, particularly my foster mother. While I'm in most cases a confident and independent kitten, I am still fairly dependent on human companionship and can at times be a wee bit demanding when it comes to the attention of my humans. I absolutely thrive on human affection. Yes, I'm a self-proclaimed smooch. The biggest smooch. If there's space on a lap (any lap) to curl up on, I'll be there in the blink of an eye... AND if there isn't.... I'll make space. Yes, I'm that kinda kitten.
When I'm not snuggling with a willing participant- or let’s be honest... an unwilling participant... you'll find me venturing into the unknown with my siblings. If there isn't a feline friend to embark on an adventure with? Well, the resident dog will do! Once I've exhausted all my investigative efforts, I'll gather, compartmentalise & stockpile all the goodies I've acquired on my adventures. Why? Well, I might need those things later! So now the important stuff. What sort of home will I suit? Here, there n' everywhere! Cats? Yas! Dogs? Absolutely! Children? I’ll be fine in a family environment provided I’m given time to ‘chill’ as needed (ages 3+).
