Meet Spork
Spork is a ridiculously handsome, large, and uber fluffy boy that came from the “Wynyard 47” crew earlier this year. He started his journey with Scat by getting neutered, and having a bunch of painfully rotten teeth removed. Since then, his foster has spent considerable time earning his trust, and teaching him all about how good house-life can be.
Spork has recently decided that pets are actually enjoyable, and he will let you know with his adorably crispy meow that he would like some attention. He’s a big fan of head pets and neck scritches. He also likes to follow foster Mom around the house like a furry hall-monitor, and bathroom sentry.
Spork is still quite nervous around strangers, where he tends to transform into a magnificent, “House-Gargoyle”, hiding up the cat tree, frozen, unblinking and unmoving. For this reason, we feel he will not “show well” to prospective adopters, and will require a patient household until he decides that he can trust you, at which time you will have a little furry shadow wherever you go.
He is perfectly fine entertaining himself with one of his (many) favourite toys, or cardboard scratchers. He mostly keeps to himself, but he does like to roughhouse (ever-so-gently) with his toothless foster sibling, Spoon. Despite mostly enjoying his own company, he does gain a lot of reassurance/confidence-building in watching other social cats interact with the humans. And while it would be great if someone wanted to keep Spork & Spoon together, it’s not a deal-breaker as long as there are other friendly cats in the home.
Spork’s only bad habit (so far) is counter-surfing, however he mostly just seems curious to know what you’re doing, and be near to you; though sometimes he does want to give your food a sniff-test for quality assurances, obviously.
