One-year-old Fringe, who is a domestic short hair cat, wound up at the Stubbington Ark after previously living in a multi-cat household which didn’t match his needs.
After being at the rescue centre for five months, he is now ready to find a home where he can thrive and will be met with patience following a tricky start in life.
He initially lived in the cattery at the Ark but found it to be a stressful environment, and he has now been moved to a calmer area with more space where he can build up trust.
Fringe’s profile on the RSPCA Stubbington Ark website says: “I am Fringe, well known for my handsome hairstyle. I am a sensitive boy so I am finding it difficult to settle in the cattery environment.
“I am desperate to start my new journey in an outdoor setting. I haven’t been outdoors before so I would love to have this opportunity to explore and eventually play out the hunting sequence I keep hearing about from the passing shelter cats. I will need time to settle into my new environment as I find change a little frightening.
“My new carers will need to be patient with me whilst I settle and allow me to have lots of space so I can adjust at my own pace.
“My current carers are hoping that once I have settled into my new home, that I will start to become more relaxed within the company of people.”
The adorable boy will need a home with a warm, insulated summer house or converted garage with outside access to a garden.
Fringe will need to be the only pet in an adult only home and he cannot be homed in the Fareham PO15 area.
He is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated and his adoption fee is £50.
