Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Likes: Feather toys, being brushed, watching squirrel videos on YouTube, napping on his heating mat, opening cabinets and doors.
Dislikes: He’s pretty chill but does not like other animals much
What would be the ideal home? A quiet home with people around a lot to keep him company- someone who works from home for example.
Good with other cats? No, he feels very nervous with them.
Good with dogs? No, they scare him.
Good with children? Unknown
Personality: Kind yet crusty, very particular old man.
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? At least 4 weeks to fully settle. He will be social right away but will take time to develop full confidence and routines.
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Don’t let his `crusty old man` appearance fool you—Sparky is curious, relatively active, and playful, especially when feather toys or birdwatching are involved. He enjoys spending his days on his heated mat, keeping a watchful eye on the world outside. Sparky has a special talent for opening cabinets and bi-fold doors and hiding in the closet, so be careful not to close him inside! This vocal fellow will keep you company with his loud and expressive meows, ensuring you’re never alone in a quiet house. Sparky prefers a calm, peaceful home where he can be the one-and-only. He hopes you’re around a lot to give him attention. He’s nervous around other cats and scared of dogs. He will take time to adjust, but after about 4 weeks you can expect him to build confidence and make his opinions known. When Sparky is feeling nervous the first thing to go is his appetite, you are likely to experience this when he is adjusting. He will need to be coaxed to eat. He grazes on his Friskies sparingly and mainly prefers to be offered wet food several times a day, mixed well with warm water. He loves creamy treats. If you`re looking for a gentle companion who will warm both your heart and your home, Sparky is your guy. He’s ready to live out his golden years in a cozy, loving home.
Medical: On long term Restoralax to ensure he has consistent bowel movements
