Curly here! I’m a very sweet 2-year-old boy who LOVES the company of people, give me a little while to warm up to you and I will be your best friend for life. I have spent life thus far as a stray and have a few unique quirks that make me so special. I came to LBS with a fractured tail which is famously how I got my name, as the tip of my tail curls over. I also have what’s called Carpal Hyperflexion Syndrome in my front right paw, you’ll notice a little hop in my step as my paw is slightly folded back. The vets that treated me believe this was caused by a trauma incurred during my time on the streets, not to worry though, I can still walk, jump, scratch and play just fine! It would be great though if we looked together at getting me in for some physiotherapy so I can do even more things!

​

New and changing situations are still quite scary for me; therefore, I’m looking for a calm and peaceful family to move in with, no small children in my new forever home please I think they are very overwhelming!  I love to have all the attention to myself, so while I like other cats and do get along with them if they are calm like me, I would also thrive as the only pet in the home. I want you to know that when we first meet, I will need lots of time to adjust and warm up to you, I will probably enjoy hiding in a safe space for the beginning while I learn more about my new home and family, moving slow and keeping the environment relaxed is key to the beginning of our new friendship.

​

Patience in the beginning is worth the time in the end, because once I know I’m in a safe and comfortable space, I’m really just a big loveable cuddle bug!

 

Food, yes please, I love to eat! I also give nose boops, play with toys and really like ear massages. I’m told that I am a great communicator because I will let you know with a muzzle bump and tail flick when I have had enough play time, don’t worry, it’s not friends off I will still come back to be close to you, I’m a pretty loyal guy.

 

Because I have spent my whole life on the streets, I can find many things overwhelming when I am getting to know them. But I’m just a happy boy looking to be surrounded by lots of love in a calm and relaxing home, could you be my special new family?

Curly was adopted abroad and in September 2021 he travelled to  his forever home.
