Tyger has come into our care with his mum and some adult siblings and half siblings. His owner has sadly had to give up 7 out of his 8 cats as he has health issues which were making it hard for him to cope with so many cats. The owner loved and looked after his cats very well, perhaps too much, as Tyger is very large indeed and will need to lose some weight if he is to live a healthy lifestyle! He is in a foster home with his siter Lilly so they could be homed as a pair or singly. Despite his size, Tyger is a very gentle soul who, despite being fearful when he first arrived in our care, showed no aggression. He would suit most types of home. Tyger came to us already neutered and microchipped but he has seen the vet and been given a clean bill of health. We have had him wormed, fleaed, and re-started his vaccinations. He will need a booster vaccination at the very end of March/ beginning of April.
FOSTER HOME UPDATE: Tiger is extremely nervous and hid since his arrival, firstly in the sofa then behind an armchair. He then decided he was going to hide in the shoe cupboard which is now his safe place so today we cleared the shoes out and made him a bed in there. He’s having lots of strokes and big purrs in the shoe cupboard and has now started rolling over for belly rubs which he seems to love but still won’t be tempted to come out until we go to bed when he goes downstairs to have some food and use the litter tray. We are making progress because we are getting belly rubs, big purrs and lots of strokes now. He is such a lovely gentle boy and even held my hand the other day because he didn’t want me to stop stroking him.
