ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Buddy & was trapped as an adult on a farm with several other kitties. Rather than euthanising us all, the farmer reached out to the rescue who secured foster placement with specialist carers. We were then transported to Perth where our rescue journey began! 

As you'd expect with my background,  the amount of human interaction I’d had was limited in capacity... Actually, if we're being honest... I'd had next to none! To my carers credit, I’ve made incredible progress in the time I’ve been in foster care. I’ve learnt that people aren't so scary and in contrast they’re kind, caring and compassionate. They’re here to help me! My carer describes it as being a bit like a light switch being flicked. One minute I was a scaredy kitty, the next.... well, the opposite! In fact, I’ve developed into a bit of a smooch. I now make a break for the door to greet our foster mumma as she enters the room in the mornings. I’ll then proceed to acrobatically wrap myself around her legs- much like a contortionist (I'd give one of those a run for their money!). I demand affections... lots of affections... because I need affections. If there are others in the way of getting my affections, you can best believe I'll be strategically placing myself between them and the humans. I'll make an excellent lap warmer and an even better neck warmer. When I'm not spending time with the humans, you'll find me crash tackling my foster siblings. If there is a game of rugby in the mix, I'm all about it. I'm still learning my boundaries as having 'fun' is all but new to me! I can on occasions 'swipe' but this is all in play & should not be misinterpreted. 

​

So now the important stuff. What sort of home will I suit? While I’m for the most part a more confident kitten, I’ll need a patient home willing to give me the time I need to adjust to all the changes that come with an adoption. Cats? I love the company of other kitties BUT, I am not dependant on their company.... which means I'll adapt well to a home with another kittie or too, but will also do just fine in a home where I am the solo-uno kittio. Dogs? I'm currently in care with a dog and have adapted well to their company.  Children? I'll be fine with children as long as I am given space 'to chill' when needed (ages 5+).
