A rescue shelter is seeking a new owner for a ‘senior kittizen’ cat, 18, recently brought into their care.
The RSPCA’s Danaher Animal Home in Essex is looking to find a retirement pad for old boy Squeek, who sadly came into the charity’s care as his owner could no longer look after him.
The tabby cat may be senior in years, but he is a gentle soul and a very sweet cat.
He came into the centre in Wethersfield, Braintree, in June, and is the oldest resident cat there – but so far hasn’t had any luck finding a home.
Ryan Densley, Cattery Manager at RSPCA Danaher, said: ‘Squeek is friendly and laid-back and has settled in really well so it feels like he has been here longer than he has. He is a true gentleman who is looking for a lovely quiet forever home.
‘All he wants is someone who will happily give him lots of fuss whenever he wants it, food and a nice cosy bed where he can happily curl up and fall asleep.
‘Offering Squeek a forever home will be such an amazing thing to do. As an older boy, we are keen to get him into a home as soon as possible.’
It may be that people are nervous about adopting a pet of Squeek’s age, believing his advanced years may make him withdrawn or quiet.
However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Ryan added: ‘He will be the best companion who enjoys fuss and having a little chat with you.
‘If you can make a senior cat’s wish come true and give him a loving retirement home then please get in touch.’
The oldest cat in the world is believed to have lived to age 38, so there’s every chance you’ll get a good few extra years of friendship with Squeek.
He would prefer not to live with other cats, or dogs, but could live with families with children.
If you can give Squeek a retirement pad, please fill out an application form on the RSPCA Danaher website.
