About Raven
You know those drawings of arched black cats, with puffed fur and giant eyes? That's me, Raven! However, once we establish trust, I'll start to relax and I'll be a devoted little companion ❤️
It's best to hold out your hand for me to sniff, then I'll weave myself around your legs waiting for a pat on my lower back. When I've had enough I'll show you my tummy but remind me to be gentle with my claws - take your hand away and wait for me to start the process again! I do not like to be picked up. I'm a simple girl to please.....apart from pats, I love a collection of small toys to wrestle and chew on and I love a bit of back forth with a ping pong ball. If you can't find my toys there'll usually be a collection under a piece of furniture somewhere! I love a place on the couch next to you for an evening nap but sometimes I'll sit on the back of the couch and nuzzle and chew on your hair. I'm always curious about what you are up to, I'll follow you room to room and supervise you completing household chores! I mostly graze on dry food but I have a spoonful of tinned tuna in the evenings followed by some crunchy treats after play time. I always use the litter tray but recommend two with high sides as I tend to do my business right on the edge and prefer it really clean. At night I sleep at the foot of the bed. My foster mum says to keep an old thick blanket over your feet as I love to pounce and wrestle with them before settling down. My cuteness superpowers include my little 'meh meh' calls to get your attention and sometimes I'll stretch out my front feet to rest my toe beans on your hands. I'd do best in a quieter home and can cope with older kids who can read my body language. I'm okay with other cats who like to play but haven't been around dogs.
So if you are patient and observant while we establish trust and are looking for a playful and devoted companion, then I'm the girl for you!
Indoor only. Cat friendly.
