My Story

Description: This cuddly feline might as well be called the cowardly lion. Cinder is a large and muscular cat with thick skin and battle scars, but don't let his appearance fool you. He's as skittish as the mice he's supposed to hunt and as cuddly as cats come. He loves chin and ear scratches, laying on blankets, and playing with toys. He will rub circles around you for hours, lounge on your lap, and burry his head in the crook of your arm. Background and Needs: Cinder was rescued from a life on the streets. As a stray, he was often sniffling and limping, covered in scratches, and would cower if anyone tried to get close to him. Although his physical wounds are fully healed, he needs help recovering emotionally. A quiet home with plenty of love to give would be a great fit for him. Small children are likely too rowdy for his sensitive soul, but other cats may be an option as long as they are introduced properly. Cinder can tickle with his claws and grab with his teeth, so take extra care if he seems scared or overwhelmed. He must be kept indoors. Medical History: Cinder is a dewormed, vaccinated, and neutered male. He has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). This means he is more susceptible to disease, illness, and infection because of a weakened immune system. Cats with FIV cannot transfer the virus to people (only other cats). Please do more research if you have any concerns. Trust building: This affectionate fellow takes some work to win over, but it's well worth it. A few tips to gaining his trust: -Avoid making quick movements and loud noises -Get progressively closer (and stay with him) during feeding time -Respect his boundaries: if he shows any signs of aggression, don't raise your voice or punish him. Sometimes he needs to be left alone for a minute and other times he is all bark and no bite. With continued effort, he will get more comfortable and less defensive. -Positive reinforcement: make sure your presence is a positive experience for him. Give him treats, scratches, and pets when you're around. -Acknowledge his presence with soft vocal greetings or pets Other Notes: He has bald patches because he was extremely matted and needed to be shaved in those spots. Cinder has a crooked front leg and back toe. These are likely from healed injuries and don't cause him any pain.
