Phoenix

About Phoenix

I will need a patient family to help build my trust.

I would like a quiet home

Sphynx experience would be great!

🐾 Meet Phoenix – looking for a very special forever home 🐾

Phoenix is a beautiful Sphynx cat who is looking for a new home, but we want to be completely honest about his personality and the time he will need to settle.

Phoenix is not a cat who will instantly warm to new people. In fact, he can take a very long time to come around, and when meeting new people he has been making it very clear that he isn’t comfortable.

We don’t want to sugar-coat this or give anyone unrealistic expectations.

Phoenix will need someone who understands that trust cannot be rushed.

He is currently very wary of unfamiliar people, but he is slowly beginning to allow interactions, which is a positive step forward. ❤️

He will need:

A calm, patient and understanding home.

Someone experienced with cats, ideally someone who understands nervous or anxious behaviour.

Plenty of time and space to settle without pressure.

Someone who won’t take his initial reactions personally.

A commitment to letting him build trust entirely at his own pace.

Phoenix isn’t going to be the cat who runs to greet visitors or immediately wants attention. Whoever takes him on needs to understand that it could be a long journey, with small steps and possibly setbacks along the way.

We are looking for someone who sees the potential in Phoenix and is willing to give him the time, patience and security he needs to feel safe.
