About Antony - Located in Ivanhoe
Antony (also known as Mr Boy, Mr Antony the Cat, Mr Meowboy, and Floofboy among many other things) is THE CUDDLIEST MOST SPECIAL CAT YOU WILL EVER MEET
He had a rough start on the streets, as a result is FIV+ which means that he must be indoors only, and be the only cat in his household or with other FIV cats. He is the sweetest little boy who will be so grateful for a loving home and show you with constant purring and attempts to sit as close to you as possible. He is very talkative and will chat to you and follow you around making an array of 'brr!' 'Prrrt!' and 'mrahhh' noises to let you know he is very interested in your day.
Antony is quite playful and smart and enjoys playing with a wand toy, or if you leave a few paper balls around the house he enjoys hunting them down and kicking them around by himself. Antony also is a typical Gen Z 'zoomer' child and just loves watching YouTube videos on the ipad. If you look up 'videos for cats' he will watch very intently and even try to catch the mice and birds through the device and I promise it is the most adorable thing you will ever see in your life.
Antony is currently on a diet of regular royal canin as cheaper cat food gives him mild allergic reactions on his skin.(similar to eczema) His skin and fur is currently in very good condition on the diet we have him on and he has had no further issues. I would recommend Antony for a range of different households, he adapts very easily but prefers someone home who can give him lots of cuddles! He has never shown any sort of aggression, never tires of constant attention and also is active and playful, so he would be a good fit for a household with children (providing they understand he must be indoors only)

Medical notes
The adoption fee includes desexing, microchip, current vaccination, flea and worm treatment while in care. No health issues unless listed below.
I am FIV+ - but don't see that as a negative, because I really am a great catch.
FIV positive cats live a normal life for many many years and we cannot predict the life span of these cats. FIV positive cats sometimes have a scruffy coat and the condition can lead to chronic recurrent infections in the mouth, eye and skin. FIV cannot infect people, however it can infect other cats through bite wounds commonly from fights. FIV positive cats can co-exist with other cats that don't have FIV without issues.
We encourage that the cat is either an indoor cat or a confined cat - eg access to a cat run outdoors. We recommend regular vet visits (6 monthly) to monitor weight, coat changes, mouth etc.
Maneki Neko Cat Rescue would like to help ensure you and your new companion have a long and happy life together.
If you should find that you are not a purrfect match - or if you need to rehome your cat at any stage of its life - Maneki Neko Cat Rescue will take the cat back into care and find a new home.
Maneki Neko Cat Rescue provides a 7 day health warranty on all adoptions.
Although all our cats and kittens are health checked prior to adoption, sometimes the stress of a new environment can upset their immune system.
