Big Blond - his person's going to have to LOVE love!

Get physical with this puffy-furred charmer! Please read his description below and, if you are interested in a trial adoption, then write in to philoctete@mailbug.com with your answers to the questions listed at the end of this write-up (please put your answers within the body of the email). Everyone who answers the questions will receive a prompt reply (if you are seeing this, he has yet to find a home) and, if you seem to be a good match with him, you'll be asked for references (and will receive references for YOU to check if you wish) and we'll arrange for a day/time for him to come and meet you, either at your home or a neutral public meeting place, and hopefully start a trial. You'll love this fluffy furball and he'll love everyone in your home!<br/><br/>The thing is, his adopter's really going to have to love love. Big Blond wants you to let him curl up on your chest right under your chin (and if the angle of your position requires it, you're just going to have to hold him there in your arms), or on your shoulder where he can reach your earlobe (he loves to lick your earlobe, nose, chin, and neck). He may feel you need a "tongue hairwash" and he also tends to think hair makes a good chewtoy (especially when he wants to let you know he is hungry). He may put gentle paws on either side of your neck for a better chance of licking your cheeks. When licking your fingers, he may turn it into a gnawing of your fingers - it doesn't hurt, but it can be very annoying even so! He just wants to use his whole body every way he can to show every part of YOUR body he loves it. So be warned! Private, reserved people may find this kitty just too much!<br/><br/>There ARE times when you can persuade him to sit calmly on your lap (rather than busily on your chest), and he doesn't always need to be right with you in your face - for instance, if you are in bed he may curl up on your shins or ankles, if you are sitting on a sofa he may set himself up Sphinx-like along the cushion behind your head or even go over to the window to watch the world. His instinct is to be friendly with other kitties, but he doesn't really cuddle up with them - if you have one in your lap, he's happy to share your lap! <br/><br/>Though not boisterous or unduly destructive, he's playful (born late summer 2023, so still kittenish) and loves to run around (he's a great escape artist if you try to confine him to a room), and he can be mischievous, finding the one place you really don't want him to jump on and jumping up on that, or playing so vigorously with his water bowl that it tips over and the water spills out. He'll come up with some way to make you laugh and is oh-so-huggable when you feel down! Even the person he was rescued from (who did not take care of him or any of the hordes of other cats in the home) called him (in a text message I had to decipher) called him a Swee Typie. He is indeed a sweety-pie. You just have to go with his flow - sometimes he gets intense (and sometimes he's independent)!<br/><br/>If interested, please send in your answers to the questions below. Thank you so much for your time!<br/><br/>1. What would you feed your kitty - dry food, canned food, raw/homemade food? A combination of wet and dry? If dry, why do you feed dry and in what ratio to wet food? What brands? If canned, what brands and in what ratio to dry food? Would you give your cat free access to food throughout the day or night?<br/><br/>2. What sort of water and litter (type/brand) would you offer your cat?<br/><br/>3. Please tell what people and what non-humans (if any) Big Blond would be sharing the home with?<br/><br/>4. What sort of home is it - rented apartment, dorm, trailer, owned house, etc.? Would he be indoors-only, or would he go outside, and if so - what kind of outdoor environment?<br/><br/>5. Under what circumstances would you feel you had to part with your cat? (We are 100% no-kill, so if at any time you no longer wanted him in your family, we would ask to take him back so we could find him a permanent home.)<br/><br/>6. What are your views, pro or con, on spaying/neutering?<br/><br/>7. What are your views, pro or con, on declawing?<br/><br/>8. To help ensure the best match, could you please share something about yourself? Job/profession/area of study if you are a student/source of income, your interests/lifestyle/hobbies/leisure pursuits/age or approximate age? Anything you want to say about previous experiences volunteering or being the primary caregiver for a cat or dog or other non-human?<br/><br/>9. {Optional} Is there anything about Big Blond, in his pictures or description, that particularly speaks to you and calls to you?<br/>Thanks for your time and your interest in Big Blond!
