Church

Oh sweet handsome Church, where is your forever family?<br/>Church is a HUGE teddy bear. He is a gentle, affectionate, sweetheart who is waiting so patiently for his forever family to come claim him. He has long luscious fur that doesn't shed, soft gentle eyes that melt your heart, and a quirky meow that will call to you if you accidentally close a door because he wants to be close to his person so he can hang out and offer companionship.<br/><br/>At out home, he is known as Uncle Church. This is because he will quickly and loyally claim EVERY kitten and teen kitty that comes into our home. He adores and loves them. He would be the perfect pet to someone who already has a young kitty in their home or someone who fosters for a rescue so he can perpetually have kitten companions.<br/><br/>Adult cats, on the other hand, tend to set off his primal instincts He can coexist with some of the adults in his foster home, but most of them are not a good fit. Let me explain what I have observed and learned. Adult cats tend to not enjoy meeting new cats. If they are easy going or confident enough to hold their ground and just growl, hiss, or ignore him when having their slow introduction, them they adjust just fine over time. But the ones who cower or run during their slow introductions, trigger his hunter response and he will absolutely chase, corner and attack. This creates a cycle of fear in the resident cat where they will always run now and he will always chase. Starting over and reintroducing has not helped so far. Calming collars and pheromone diffusers have not helped reset the first impression either. Giving him TONS of outlets for his predator drive through toys doesn't redirect him either at this point. So just something to be aware of.<br/><br/>So in other words, he needs to be an only cat, or paired with kittens/teens, or a cat who won't run from him during slow introductions. Let me know if you need more explanation. But this is based off of months of observation, slow introductions and careful notice of body language. He is just so curious and play/hunt motivated, that he needs any kitty companion to not mimic prey <br/><br/>He LOVES toys that can allow him to experience his hunt instincts. He is hilarious. He will jump straight vertically several feet in the air to capture a toy on the end of a string. He will zoom around after balls and mice. He is so funny. <br/>He is also very gentle and affectionate and snuggly with his people. He is intelligent and a good comunicator.
