🧡🧶 MEET HICCUP 🧶🧡

How to train your dragon fans – look no further, Hiccup is here!

Hello friends, my name is Hiccup, and I’m ready to find my forever family. Could that be with you?

Nature
I came into care when I was just a little lad, after living the first part of my life on the streets. I was very scared of humans at first, but I’ve come a long way! I am still a bit nervous around strangers but once I settle in, I love being around my people and getting as much love and attention as I can! I’m a super sweet boy with a tiny squeak but a big purr! I don’t meow per se but when dinner time rolls around, I make little squeaks at my Foster Mum to let her know I’m hungry! I purr whenever I get pats, and I even purr when I cuddle with my kitty friends.

I’m a quirky boy with a side of sass! I have found these things my Foster Mum calls ‘shadows’ and I cannot get enough of them! I chase them around the house and try to get them, but I can never seem to catch them no matter how hard I try! I also love pats so much that if you stop, sometimes I’ll let you know you need to keep patting me by giving you a little nip or I’ll swat your hand with my tiny paw. I’m not trying to hurt you though, it’s just that my pats are the most important thing!

Companions (Children, Cats & Dogs)
I haven’t met any children yet, and because of my sassy nips, at the moment, a child free home is probably best for me. But I should be fine with older children who can read my body language and know when to give me space.

I have some cat friends in my foster home, and I get along with them all. I’m a very cat friendly boy and I’ve always been around cats so I would need a home with some friendly kitties to cuddle and play with. I haven’t met any dogs before, but I think any pups with gentle temperaments might be OK for me.

Likes / Dislikes
I love pats and cuddling up with the other cats. I will give head boops to my Foster Mum when I want pats and like to curl up next to her on the couch or lay on her legs in bed. I will curl up on the bed during the day, and at night I curl up wherever the other cats are. I love to play with string toys and am always trying to catch those pesky shadows!

I’m still getting used to being around people so I can get a fright from sudden movements and loud noises, but I recover quickly and will come back to you for pats. I love soft blankets and big soft teddy bears that I can kneed and get comfy on. I also love my food and I am obsessed with creamy treats! I get really excited at dinner time and will sometimes nip at your calves to ask you to hurry up.

I’m not keen on being picked up and am even less keen on being in a cat carrier. As soon as the carrier comes near me, I try to hide and can growl or hiss to show you I don’t want to go inside. I’ll need a cozy space to settle into when I first come home with you, because when I’ve moved before it was really scary! A spare bedroom would be perfect. It may take me some time to learn to trust you, but when I do I’ll be expecting lots of pats so get ready!

My PURR-fect home would be with a family who is willing to be patient and give me all the time that I will need to settle into my new home, and give me lots of love and attention. Being able to read my body language and know when I need my space would be amazing and I need a friendly cat buddy in my new home to show me the ropes and make me feel safe.
