FOR ADOPTION
From the Kiddikatz Monsters Inc litter, Fred and Mabel - aka Sully and Boo.
Please read carefully the comments and recommendations below from Candice. Fred and Mabel are to be rehomed as a duo and aren’t to be separated. They are inside only cats with a secure cat run for outside fun is preferred.
Please note this has been a difficult decision. Contact Candice directly if you would like to be considered as Fred and Mabel’s new family and if you feel you fit the criteria. Thank you. 💕
“We got Fred and Mabel about 7 years ago and for the first few years, they got all the love and attention a Tonkinese cat rightly deserves. A lap each on front of the TV at night, sleeping on the bed (ok, in the bed!), playing fetch, tummy rubs at every demand, a massaging brush every week, and constant conversation throughout the day. But over the last 4 years, we've had 2 kids, and with no family close by, our kids gradually took over all of our time and energy. Fred and Mabel started showing signs of stress, and more recently with the arrival of our second baby a year ago, this has become increasingly difficult for all of us. At times I've tried to focus on them more, and the tricky behaviours from stress reduced almost immediately but as time goes on, it's not sustainable for us and it's not fair on them. I'm heartbroken in this decision because they feel like an integral part of our family, and like they are and could only ever be 'our' cats; the quirky, over-familiar, curious, loving and gorgeous Fred and Mabel. But, going through our photos tonight has driven home the message that they don't have the life they used to, and they have so much more love and companionship, and entertainment to give (and receive!!!).
We are in no rush because finding the right home is really important. We don't want them separated and they are best in a home with no little kids and probably no other pets - maybe a gentle chilled dog but I'm not sure! They will be ok with people who work full time out of the home as long as the evenings and big chunks of weekends are spent around them. They are on a special diet (Fred had a blocked urethra over a year ago, but the diet and filter water seems to have sorted that out). They are indoor cats but enjoy a supervised and time limited stroll to eat some grass - and best that this is regular otherwise Fred will become very vocal about it! Alternatively, they will be fine to stay indoor cats only as long as they don't know outside is an option! The adjustment will probably be really big for them (and us!) and I'd like to be as helpful as possible in that process so willing to do whatever would support it to be successful. They are best suited to cat lovers especially given these are not your typical domestic cats - they will nuzzle their way into your bed and into your heart. We would love to be able to still keep in touch to know how they are going, if possible. Feel free to contact me on 0401 807 037 or [email protected]. Thank you, Candice”
