Jorge

Jorge is a 10 year old beautiful black panther who came to the care of Catcuddles after his owner sadly passed away. Jorge suddenly found himself on the streets without the comforts of the home he had previously known. He has been in his foster home for some months and since the very beginning his outgoing and confident personality unfolded revealing a playful, chatty, inquisitive, clever and sociable cat, who loves company, human and feline alike.

In addition to playing with dangly toys, strings, balls, catnip mice and anything else that crosses his way, one of his favourite moments is to lay on top of a human chest for cuddles. He prefers this to any form of affection and he is looking for a human that understands and respects his boundaries and preferences. Jorge is looking for an adult-only home for life with an adopter who has previous experience with bold cats,; somewhere for his charming personality to continue to blossom.

Jorge has a heart murmur. Everything is under control and he doesn’t currently need any medication but he will need annual monitoring (heart scan). This doesn’t certainly stop him from being his happy, confident self and doing all things cat. Jorge has recently been diagnosed with hyperthyrodism, for which he receives medication for twice a day. 

Monitoring at home such as weight checks and vet check-ups are essential to monitor his health but hyperthyroidism is a common condition that mostly affects senior cats; with the right treatment and regular health checks, cats with hyperthyroidism enjoy a good quality of life.

Jorge’s adopter should be financially comfortable to cover the costs of having a senior cat with a health condition to cover his medication, blood tests, urine monitoring and blood pressure checks that he will need to manage his hyperthyroidism as well as the recommended annual heart scan. Jorge’s health needs and care routine can be discussed further with the adoptions team; Catcuddles will be with you every step of the way pre and post adoption. 

We are looking for a spacious indoor home with a fully catproofed balcony, terrace or patio for Jorge. Jorge is not suited to living with young children; he needs an adult-only home for life.

Jorge is being fostered within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We home cats throughout London and the surrounding areas.

Our priority is to match felines with homes that suit their needs, character and long term requirements. We appreciate your understanding.
