Poker Desperately Needs A New Home


Posting this from our local rescue's website (where I volunteer)

Poker is a gorgeous glossy black male cat who is approximately three and a half years old. He was handed in to Caring For Cats in early 2009 after being found living as a stray in Hull.

Poker is gaining confidence every day at the Homing Centre as he learns to trust, and not fear, people again. He is, however, still very nervous of strangers and uncertain about being picked up. Once he gets over his initial fear and insecurity, Poker is a lovely happy cat who enjoys one-to-one attention and playing with his toys. Poker needs a loving owner who has ample time, patience and most importantly understanding for this gorgeous cat, who has obviously gone through a very difficult time living as a stray. As he is still so wary and easily scared, we believe he would best suit a home with no small children.


Poker would like to be rehomed into a multi cat household!

If you can give this handsome boy a second chance please phone 01430 872612


Opening Hours are 11am - 5pm Tuesday-Sunday


(The bits in bold I added, bold and italic I copied from the website)
