About Sir

Sir is a unique 2-year-old who has earned the title of 'Ninja' in the cattery kitten room. Known for his stealth skills, he often finds clever hiding spots, from towels to random corners. While he may be hard to spot during your visit, the truth is that Sir is a very sweet boy who has overcome significant hardships. After being found injured outside, he was rescued and is currently healing from a wound on his back. This little guy is still trying to navigate the world around him. He can be shy and tends to hide from fast movements, making a calm and patient home essential. Given his timid nature, he would do best in a household without children under 10. Sir thrives in a serene environment where he can build confidence at his own pace. When he’s feeling brave, Sir absolutely loves wand toys, balls to chase, and hidey boxes where he can plan his next ninja move. As an FIV-positive cat, he will require regular veterinary care, but many FIV-positive cats lead long and fulfilling lives. He enjoys peaceful interactions, so if you have another cat, a gentle introduction will be crucial. Sir may be shy now, but with time, he may emerge from his ninja shell to see if you could be his special person. Share his story; his perfect forever home might be waiting!
