About Alfie rsua008616
Meet Alfie, a stunning blue-eyed gentleman with a heart full of affection for those he calls his family. Though initially very timid and reserved, Alfie is a wonderfully loving family member once he has found his comfort zone. A patient adopter who can give him the time and space he needs to adjust will be rewarded with a devoted and affectionate friend.
Alfie thrives in a quiet, calm environment, where routine reassures his sensitive nature. He isn't fond of a bustling household and is happiest without the presence of children, dogs, or other cats. He requires the solitude and safety of being indoor-only, as he has never been acquainted with the unpredictability of the great outdoors.
An ideal day for Alfie includes slow, cozy moments with his favorite human, away from the noise of visitors. It takes him time to warm up to new faces, but when he's settled, he becomes a gentle, loyal friend, cherishing every cuddle and quiet moment shared.
Medical notes
Heart Murmur Grade - 2/6
During routine examinations at CPS, a heart murmur was detected.
Studies of heart murmurs in cats have been limited but have shown approximately 20% of randomly selected, apparently healthy cats will have a heart murmur. (The Cat, S. Little, 2012) 50% of cats with heart murmurs do not have identifiable cardiac disease and live comfortable lives for many years.
In contrast, some cats have heart disease but do not have a murmur. Some murmurs are transient (which means they come and go). This occurs most often with fear or stress and is generally not associated with any structural heart disease.

You can only adopt a cat for yourself we do not allow animals to leave with third parties. If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend! It is also important to allocate time for adoption and we recommend you allow at least a couple of hours to get to know the cat and do the necessary paperwork.
When you visit you will get to meet the cat and as this is a very important decision for both you and the cat you choose we will want to ensure the two of you are compatible and that you understand what will be involved in taking the cat into your home.
We will want to be satisfied that you are prepared to be a responsible pet owner. Responsible pet owners at the most basic level, have their pets registered, micro-chipped and de-sexed unless they are registered breeders. They also understand the issues involved in being able to properly care and take responsibility for the welfare of their pets. Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
We will answer any questions you have regarding cat care and help you to obtain any support you may need.
