~*ATTENDING CAT HAVEN ADOPTION EVENT ON SUNDAY*~

🪵☀️ MEET BARRET ☀️🪵

This is living Barry(t)!

Hello everyone, I am Barret and I am so excited to be looking for my fur-ever family!

Nature
I had a tough start to life but that has not changed what a loving man I am! I have gone from having to survive on the streets and not knowing when my next meal will be, to living it up with my own bed and pats whenever I want them, with two meals a day! I love human attention. I just rub my head on my Foster Mum’s hand constantly for pats and I never want her to stop. Sometimes I'll reach out to her with my paw when she pulls away to ask her to keep going. I have big purrs when I get pats too.

I still look a bit scruffy from my time being homeless but don't let that deter you because when my coat fully grows back I am going to be magnificent!

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I am currently living in a house with other cats and because I am FIV+ my Foster Mum is taking slow introductions extra slow but she says she has high hopes I will be able to live with other cats because so far I've been on my best behaviour around them. That makes me very excited because I have so much love to give.

I have not been around dogs before but I am not too sure how I would go with them. For now I think a house where I can be the king will be best or a house with another friendly feline.

I have not been around children since the Angels took me in but I have been very loving with all the people who have been introduced to me so far. I think I would prefer a quieter household though because I can sometimes still get spooked by loud noises.

Likes / Dislikes
I love love love my food! I love my biscuits and my wet food and creamy treats and roast chicken. I am not fussy at all!

I haven't really figured out how toys work but I think I would like to keep figuring it out. I also love to sit up high on my scratching tower but I also need a little hidey bed available for when I get overwhelmed.

When I first came into care my coat wasn't in the best condition so my Foster Mum has put a lot of care into getting me in better health and that includes brushing me - and did I mention I love being brushed! It feels so nice!

So far I can get overwhelmed by loud noises and some fast movements but then I just go back to my hidey bed until I realise I am safe and then I come straight back out for love!

My PURR-fect home would be with a quiet, older family who is able to give me lots of love and attention. I am a floofy boy so I will need regular brushing and as an FIV+ man I will need to be completely indoors, although access to a fully enclosed cat run would be acceptable.

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

If you would like to apply to adopt Barret please come and meet him at Cat Haven this Sunday from 10am until 4pm. He will be ready to go home with the first suitable family.

**Please note we will not be accepting any online pre-applications**

10664 - Barret
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Colour: Black & White
DOB: 19/03/2021
Adoption Fee: $0 fee for Cat Haven event only

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

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

Barret has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) which is a virus that can affect his immune system, however, he can still potentially live a long healthy life. FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds. Due to his FIV Barret will need to be an indoor only cat. FIV cats can live harmoniously with other cats however slow introductions are required to ensure they do not fight.

Barret came into care missing both lower canine teeth and all lower incisors.

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