Additional information

Due to the wound he arrived with, we feel Madrono would be best being the only cat of the house.

We don’t know if he’s had any history with a dog, but at this stage if there are dogs in the home they will need to be very calm and introductions must be slow and and at Madrono’s pace. A lively, bouncy dog will not be suitable for him.

He could live with smaller animals as long as they are securely-housed.

What kind of family am I looking for?

Madrono will need a quiet, adult only home. New owners will need to allow him to settle at his own pace.

What type of environment would suit me?

Madrono will need access to the outdoors in his new home. Preferably in a quiet area with low traffic. Once settled and regularly going outside he may benefit from a cat flap to give him access 24/7.

When Madrono arrived at Woodgreen as a stray, he was carrying not only a wound on his neck but also a deep mistrust of people. It has taken time, patience and lots of gentle care for him to realise that some humans can be pretty wonderful after all.

Madrono is now expanding his trusted circle and has shown what an affectionate, snuggly companion he can be. Once he trusts you, he adores a lap to flop onto and loves rolling around in pure contentment, soaking up every moment of love.

Madrono is not a “love you from day 1” kind of cat. He needs time, quiet and slow introductions to new surroundings. Once you’re part of his inner circle though, you’ll be rewarded with the pure joy of earning the love of a truly special soul.
