Brazil

A curious home owner (who happens to be a PAW foster-provider) asked her neighbours why they were boarding up around the bottom of their backyard shed. The answer was that they were “tired of mother cats giving birth under it”. With all the nailing and hammering, apparently the most recent mother cat had bolted, along with all her kittens but one. That one (Peanut) was rescued almost immediately (and quickly adopted). A few weeks later, the remaining three kittens were trapped but sadly their orange mom was never captured. Hazel and Cashew have been adopted.<br/><br/>Personality:<br/><br/>With orange tabby fur that almost shimmers, Brazil is a reserved young mancat. He’s shy, it’s true, but with patience, he WILL come around. It may start at meal-time, when he will twist that long, lean body of his around your legs. That’s may be when you can first pet him; that will be the beginning of trust. Play-time is another opportunity to show Brazil that you are his friend. In his foster-home, he was initially afraid of the toys, but he watched other cats having fun, and learned that it was all right to take a chance. We know he is seeking that people to whom he can give his trust. It’s happened in his foster-home, and it will happen again.<br/><br/>Brazil trusts his foster-guardian enough to allow claw-cutting, medicine giving or cleaning if he needs it. And while once upon a time, it was quite a game to catch him to put him in a carrier, he now resigns himself to being picked up and incarcerated, if he needs to go anywhere. With this guy, it’s all about trust.<br/><br/>With most cats, Brazil is a comfortable and comforting brother-type. In his foster-home, he has curled up with a much older cat, and snuggled with a kitten. He loves an action-packed game of chase with a feline pal. With many cats, he’s an easy-going, accepting fellow.
