Rescue Story: I was hanging outside for several years in a North Edmonton community. A kind neighbour was able to trap me and get me indoors right as winter rolled in and with time and patience, I have blossomed into a wonderful kitty that is ready for my forever home!
About Me: Hello, my name is Toffee and I’m a handsome tabby who has been learning that being a house cat is actually pretty wonderful.
When I first arrived, I was a little unsure of this whole indoor-cat business. I’m still shy when meeting new people, and I like to take my time getting comfortable. But once I’ve decided you’re safe, I have a much more important side to show you: I am becoming quite the snugglebug.
These days, when the house is quiet and I’m feeling comfortable, I will come looking for you and DEMAND pets. I’ve discovered that laps are excellent places for naps, and couches and beds make pretty great cuddle spots too. Of course, I prefer to decide when cuddle time begins, because I have standards. I’m not a fan of being picked up, but I am very happy to curl up beside you when I’m in the mood.
I’m also discovering that I have quite a playful side. I love crinkly toys, zooming around the house, and generally keeping myself entertained. I’m a very polite roommate and I even have excellent manners with my feline friends. I’m currently having a wonderful time playing with my foster’s cat, Archie, and I think I would really enjoy having another friendly, respectful cat around in my forever home.
I’m still a gentleman who likes his independence, and I’ll need a family who understands that I may take a little time to warm up. I do things on my own schedule, but I promise there is a very charming, affectionate little guy waiting underneath that initial shyness.
I also have a few quirky habits. I stay off the counters, use my scratching posts like a proper gentleman, and I still believe the area rugs occasionally need to be rearranged. I have a special little trilling meow, an excellent appetite, and I’m very easily convinced that snack time should happen immediately.
Because I came from the outdoors, I can get a little too enthusiastic about food, so my people will need to help me with sensible portions. I also startle at loud noises, so a calm home where I can continue building my confidence would be ideal.
Vetting: I am neutered, dewormed, microchipped and fully vaccinated
