About Gertie - Located in Rosanna
Gertie is a beautiful little boy with a stunning coat and cute little smudge nose. He is very shy and timid and feels safe with his brother Fitzgerald. Gertie would love to be adopted with his brother as they enjoy wrestling, snoozing, and snacking together.
Gertie and his brother had a rough start to life, and it took time and patience in foster care to help them understand that humans aren’t scary. Gertie enthusiastically accepts treats and is starting to get used to chin scratches and pats. He likes to nap under his foster carers legs, covered with a blanket, and will happily purr himself to sleep. He loves to chase string toys and enjoys watching the day go by through the window. Gertie’s family will need to be patient as it will take time for Gertie to settle in and feel safe. He tends to hiss when he feels scared but does not bite or scratch. Once he feels safe and secure, he will blossom into a loving member of the family.
Gertie and his brother will need to be indoor cats only due to their light colouring, and they would benefit from a quiet adult home as young children might be overwhelming for them. They will also need regular brushing to keep their beautiful silky coats gleaming.
