About Rhubarb - In foster care in Melton South
I'm Rhubarb, but you can call me Rhu for short. Yep, I'm that tall, grey, and oh-so-handsome feline you've been searching for. Trust me, I've got the looks and the charm to steal your heart in a whisker!
First things first, let me tell you about my hobbies. I'm a pro at swatting those tricky wand toys. Chasing up the scratching post? Piece of cake! And when it's time to unwind, there's nothing I love more than cozying up for a catnap. I mean, who doesn't love a good snooze, am I right?
I'm an absolute gentleman, the kind who knows how to make everyone around him feel special. Whether it's a purr or a head bump, I've got plenty of love to go around. And guess what? I'm great with other cats! So if you've got a feline friend looking for a buddy, I'm your guy.
But hey, let's address the elephant in the room - my heart condition. Yep, I've got a bit of a wonky ticker, but don't let that scare you off. I'm a trooper, and I take my medication like a champ. Plus, I've got a knack for reminding you when it's "snacky time" - just keep those churu treats coming, and we'll get along just fine.
Oh, and about the heat? Let's just say I'm not a fan. I'll need a cool spot with some air conditioning to beat the heat, but hey, who doesn't love a little pampering?
So here's the deal: I may have a few quirks, but who doesn't? Life's too short to sweat the small stuff, and I'm here to make every moment count. So what do you say? Ready to let a dashing feline like me into your life? Go ahead, send in that adoption enquiry. Trust me, you won't regret it. Let's make some memories together! 🐾

Medical notes
Rhubarb does have a congenital heart defect and requires medication morning and evening as well as annual ultrasounds.
He is very easy to medicate as he will take his tablets inside his churu treats (he even reminds you if you're late with"snacky time" by circling at the fridge).
During high temperatures Rhu will require a place with air conditioning as he does struggle a little in the heat due to his heart. He also sometimes needs to be reminded that he can't play as intensely as the kittens but he certainly likes to give it a red hot go.
He will require medication long term, and his heart may begin to fail at anytime. It could be 10 years from now or it may only be 6-12 months.
Rhu has previously had surgery to correct the entropion of his right eye lid. He has healed beautifully and his vets do not expect him to have any further issues with the eye.
