Chirp

15-03-26 Chirp has come to us from a breeder, along with some other cats, to find her forever home. She is a scared girl who is very overwhelmed to find herself here and is in need of love and kindness.

Chirp prefers to hide away and clearly isn’t used to much handling or attention yet and finds this quite worrying, so her adopters will need to take things at her pace. She isn't keen on being picked up and did on one occasion nip through fear, but this was when she was having her spay wound checked by the vets and was very stressed. She can still hiss from time to time, but since arrival, she has started to come out of her shell and will now take a treat from you and let you stroke her gently.

She has never lived in a home environment before, so she will need plenty of time, patience and TLC as she adjusts to home life. As she settles in, she will start to come out of her shell and will let her true personality shine through.

Chirp could be homed as an only cat or she could be homed alongside one of her friends that she arrived with. In the right circumstances, she could also be homed where there were other cats or pets, but any introductions would need to be done very gradually.

As she has never been outdoors, Chirp will need to be kept as an indoor-only cat to keep her safe. Access to a secure catio would be a lovely bonus, allowing her some fresh air and enrichment in a controlled environment, though this is not essential.

Chirp is looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with cats and who understand that she may take some time to settle in and before she is comfortable being fussed. With lots of love and kindness, we think she will blossom into a truly wonderful addition.

Chirp has had one tooth extracted at the time of her spay and our vets have noted that she has runny eyes, which is being monitored.

Chirp has a travel document.
