Hello there! My name is Lucas and I am a 10 year old grey and white cat. Auntie Dawn found me on the streets as a stray and caught me so I could be given a home. When she found me, I was very hungry and also had worms, it wasn’t very nice at all. I was so hungry that I had to break into other cats cat flaps for food – not like me at all as I am a very reserved and quiet cat, but I was so hungry! When I was first brought in, I had scratches on my nose which have now healed. I was also very skinny and Auntie Dawn thinks I wouldn’t have lasted another winter living rough.
I am living with a foster mum at the moment and I have all the food I can eat! I have also discovered a lovely new drink called cat milk – my foster mum says I am a bit of an addict! I have lots of reasons to purr, so I find that I am purring nearly all day. I am putting some weight on too. Apparently I am something called a “charmer” as my foster mum’s friends all want to take me home.
The thing is, I need a special home as I am a very special cat. I have FIV you see, which means I have to be an indoor cat. I don’t mind this at all as I have had enough of being outside, I much prefer a nice warm spot (or lap) indoors. Even though I have FIV, you’d never know – I am a healthy boy in all other ways and I am only middle aged, lots more years left of purring, furry headbutts and snuggling for me yet.
I hope that I will get a permanent home soon, it is nice here but I would like to have my forever home with someone who thinks I am just as special as my foster mum does!
