About Teddy
Teddy is a loving and affectionate long-haired boy who was surrendered to us after he had been badly mauled by another animal. His wounds have been stitched up and he has also had his teeth cleaned while at the vets, so he'll soon be flashing those pearly whites for the world to see.
Teddy is still recovering under the gentle supervision of his foster mum and will need to remain with her for a couple more weeks while he heals and grows stronger every day. He should be available for adoption approx end of July. If you think you can offer this stunning boy a home of his own, expressions of interest are very welcome in the meantime.
Due to Teddy's ordeal he will need to go to a home where he is the only pet because we don't want him to possibly be reminded of what he has been through. He deserves to move on and live happily ever after in his forever home. He will also require regular brushing and grooming of his beautiful long coat to keep him looking his best.

Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision. \
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, it should be made to feel safe in its own room - we call this the "sanctuary". No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if it needs to.
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS urges all owners to keep their cats indoors.
