Fantastic Negrito! READ BIO BEFORE INQUIRING OR APPLYING - Buddy cat! Bombay & Extra-Toes Cat / Hemingway Polydactyl Mix South Salem, NY

Samantha and Fantastic Negrito - SPECIAL CASE KITTENS ...

Poor Sammie and Negrito - brother and sister - came from a seriously sad situation. Their momma was found in an alley way after she had been tossed out of a home with her 5 babies. One was found hit by a car and thankfully a kind Samaritan realized there could be more and found her. Momma was fixed and rehomed and the babies put into a socialization program. But... they are still very shy and take a long time to adjust once they move into a home.

Details about Negrito:

10 months old. EXTRA toes polydactyl neutered & vaccinated
**WILL cautiously, but gently take food from hands and silverware
** WILL allow petting from head to tail.
** TIMID so GO SLOW & DO NOT FORCE. Let him come to you
Once comfortable, he will purr LOUDLY, allow ear scratching/rubbing and occasionally DROOL lol
** LOVES high value food items such as “CHURU” or “Temptations” squeeze tubes.
** WILL jump on your lap if you have a high value food item
** LOVES TOYS especially crinkle balls and anything with feathers. Occasionally plays “fetch”
** SMART, SOCIAL & SWEET. Loves to sunbathe and watch birds from the window.
** Gets along well with other cats & is more confident & outgoing with other well socialized felines
** Excellent with litterbox (uses BREEZE litter system, but has also used wheat litter)
** Eating Taste of the Wild dry kibble from Auto-feeder - Especially Loves Weruva Canned Chicken (shreds) and Regularly eats up high (counter)
**NON-AGGRESSIVE, but SCARES EASILY & FEARFUL AT TIMES. Does best with slow, thoughtful movement around him
**DOES NOT ALLOW picking up, but WILL sleep between your legs or on your feet at night. Occasionally allows full body petting while you are laying in a prone position.
** DIFFICULT TO CATCH – Non-aggressive when caught, but extremely squirmy (4 legs in 8 differentdirections – think octopus !! ) Once calm, good for nail trims, ear cleaning, vaccines.

Both Sammy and Negrito would be best in a multi cat household where they can first adjust to the new cats and then slowly start to accept their human counterparts. No small children. Would make great buddy cats too and just need a long time chance to relax and find that person to be patient with them.
