About Opie
OPIE has had a very rough start to life. After coming into care with FFARQ late 2016, Opie escaped from his carer in January 2017 and was only just found again (& returned to FFARQ) in October 2018. He has spent an entire 21 months fending for himself on the road. It is entirely uncertain how much contact with humans or regular food he has had during this time. But miraculously enough his health has remained stable and he has suffered no lasting damage. A little scratch on the nose was all we could see. Else he got a clean bill of health from the vet.
Opie is still very timid and anxious, and not trusting humans much, but he loves the company of his current foster kitten siblings from another mother, who regularly snuggle up to him. ❤💕
He does tolerate human touch, when approached very gently and slowly, but will hiss and panick when startled. Seems he is still suspicious and unsure whether to consider humans a threat or a blessing? (They currently do bring him food, speak to him in the nicest manner and look after him. But who knows what some of them did to him previously?)
He will require a home where he can slowly get used to his human(s) and be able to gain trust again one little bit at a time.
Preference will be given to persons/families with experience with anxious cats, and we recommend no (small) children at this point. Another peaceful and gentle pet in the household for Opie to bond with could be very beneficial (IF they get along). As would be to adopt Opie and a small kitty friend together, so they can grow up & old together. 💙
