Rose

About Rose

Rose is a stunning calico/white female, approximately around 2 years old. She has been flea and worm treated, microchipped, spayed and fully vaccinated. She can return to one of our vets in Swadlincote, Tamworth or Northampton for a FREE 2nd vaccination. She will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.

Rose hasn’t had the easiest start in life. Before coming into foster care, she was living outdoors at a car wash in Birmingham with her 4 kittens, having to fend for herself and do everything she could to survive while also caring for her precious babies, therefore it’s understandable that when Rose first arrived in foster, she was feeling shy, unsettled and unsure of her new surroundings.

Since coming into our care, her foster carer has been working hard to help Rose learn that she is now safe and that she no longer needs to worry. Rose has already shown us that there is a lovely girl hiding beneath her understandably cautious exterior. She is a cat who likes to do things on her own terms and needs time to build trust.

Rose is not a cat who enjoys being handled or having lots of fuss made of her. She may come up to you and gently rub her head against you, but this should not be taken as an invitation to stroke or pick her up. She can lash out when she feels uncomfortable and she needs people who are able to recognise and respect her boundaries.

Rose will need a very understanding, experienced and patient person who appreciates that trust takes time and that her boundaries must always be respected. Rose needs a quiet, calm home where she can settle at her own pace, without pressure to interact. She will need someone who is happy to let her approach when she feels ready, rather than trying to initiate physical contact. Building a relationship with Rose will be about patience, consistency and allowing her to make her own choices.

Rose could live with other neutered, friendly felines with very gradual introductions, she would not be suited to living with a dog or with children. Rose is very clean in her litter tray and eating really well, a variety of wet food and will need good quality dry food like IAMS or an alternative.

Rose will need a home WELL AWAY FROM ANY BUSY OR FAST ROADS, with a safe garden to explore once settled. Being fostered in Burntwood, but can be rehomed further afield subject to a successful home check and an adoption donation of £75. (WE CANT HOLD FOR HOLIDAYS IM AFRAID).
