8453 - Eugene

✨🧶 MEET EUGENE 🧶✨

Hello humans! Are you ready to meet the most special cat you will ever find?

Nature
I was rescued by the Angels when I was only a few days old and found without a mumma cat. I went to my first Foster Mum who looked after me and helped me get big and strong. But then the vets found out that I had Coronavirus! I went to my second Foster Mum who had the medicine I needed. I had almost three months of medicine and another three months of observation. And then, finally, the vets gave me the all clear!

I have had a LOT of human interaction throughout my life, from being a bottle-fed baby to getting medicine twice a day and being in kitty quarantine. This means that I am an INCREDIBLY smoochy boy. I love my humans more than anything else (maybe not more than food). I follow my foster parents around the house and will even rest against my Foster Mum when she’s cooking dinner. I am a very cheeky boy and will do anything for food. I even like to run away with fruit and vegetables. My Foster Mum calls me a little gremlin!

I am a very wobbly boy and am not a confident jumper. In fact, I don’t really jump on anything that is too high; although, I am very clever about figuring out steps to get to where I want to be. If I get scared, my wobbles get worse. Because of my history, I MUST be an indoors cat only, for my safety.

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I get along with all of the cats at my foster home. I prefer my own company and tend to sleep on my own. But the other cats do look after me and give me a bath as my wobbles cause me to get food all over my face and paws. However, I do get very jealous and like to have all the attention on me, so I would be purr-fectly fine being an only kitty.

We have a Labrador at my foster home, and I don’t mind him at all. I would be fine going to a home with a cat-savvy pooch.

I haven’t met any children before. I would be OK with older children who understand how to handle me as I can be a little delicate. My most important companion will be my humans. I really need a home where someone will be home for me a lot. My humans are my world and I promise to give you all my love.

Likes / Dislikes
I am very food oriented and am the first at the dinner table. Sometimes, if my Foster Mum leaves the pantry door open, I’ll even sneak in and get extra snacks. I once stole a strawberry, although I got caught red-handed (ha!).

I love cuddles especially when my Foster Mum picks me up and wraps me in a blanket. I am the biggest lap cat out there.

My PURR-fect home would be with another cat who can help me look after myself. Most importantly would be to have as much time as possible with my humans. I am just like a little baby ready to give you all the love in the world.

Perth Rescue Angels recommends all cats are indoor only, unless they have access to a secure cat enclosure.

8453 - Eugene
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Colour: Black and White
DOB: 02/11/2022
Adoption Fee: $0 due to medical notes

*Eugene’s adoption fee includes vet check, sterilisation, vaccination, microchip, flea and worm treatment

Medical Notes: Eugene was exposed to cat flu, which is a respiratory infection. He did not show symptoms and was given the all clear by the vet.

Eugene has previously been infected with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) which is a viral disease in cats caused by Feline Coronavirus. Up to 80% of the cat population is exposed to Feline Coronavirus, however only about 5% of Feline Coronavirus positive cats mutate to FIP. Eugene has been treated for FIP with newly available medication. The treatment was an 84-day course, followed by an 84-day observational period, which has been completed. A complete blood count and full chemistry panel bloods have been run on Eugene and all levels are normal, and the vet has advised he is now considered FIP recovered. Eugene does have some remaining neurological issues that he has had since birth, which includes some instability on his feet, and his ability to jump is affected. Due to the experimental nature of the drugs, long-term side effects are not known. The recurrence rate of FIP is also unknown and can occur.

🐾 Perth Rescue Angels recommends Advantage and Advocate from Elanco Animal Health for all of your new furry family members’ flea and worming needs.
