PADDY
SMALL CAT, BIG ENERGY, EVEN BIGGER HEART
1 year old, neutered, male
Available
Portsmouth - Available for adoption anywhere in the UK
Paddy is not a background cat.
He is a presence.
He will make you laugh, test your patience just enough to keep you humble, and then curl up beside you as if to say, “worth it, wasn’t it?”
For the right home, he will be everything.
A Day in Paddy’s World
His day is a balance of two very distinct modes.
First, there is Paddy the athlete.
Fast, curious, and endlessly entertaining, he loves to run, chase, and throw himself wholeheartedly into play. Wand toys are his absolute favourite, and he will happily sprint, leap and zig-zag his way through multiple play sessions a day.
Then, there is Paddy the shadow.
Once his energy is spent, he becomes incredibly affectionate. He will flop beside you, curl up on you, and sleep peacefully through the night, often tucked close by your legs.
He is also wonderfully expressive. Paddy is a chatty little character who will happily “talk” to you throughout the day, especially when he wants interaction.
The Fun (and the Honest Bit)
Paddy is clever. Too clever, sometimes.
If his energy is not properly channelled, he will find his own entertainment. This can include knocking things over, investigating bins, unravelling toilet rolls, or appearing exactly where you do not expect him.
This is not bad behaviour. It is simply a young, intelligent cat who needs an outlet.
With 3 or more proper play sessions a day, he is calm, affectionate and an absolute joy. Without them, he will remind you that he has energy to burn.
He is also not shy about inserting himself into your day. Working from home? Expect a little assistant on your keyboard.
Medical Notes
No known medical concerns.
The Right Home for Paddy
Paddy will thrive in a home that understands that young cats are not passive pets, they are active companions.
Ideal home:
• Experienced cat owner
• Able to commit to daily interactive play
• Comfortable with a vocal, social cat
• Appreciates personality and engagement over quiet independence
Children
Not suited to very young children. Older, cat-savvy children may be considered.
Indoor/Outdoor
Indoor only.
Other Cats
He may do well with another confident, playful cat who can match his energy and is tolerant of rough-and-tumble play.
He would not suit a very calm or timid cat.
Dogs
No been with dogs. A home with a dog will be considered, providing it’s a cat-friendly dog and proper introductions can be adminsitered.
Food
Mixed diet of wet and dry food.
Enjoys tuna-based wet food and grazes on kibble throughout the day.
Rescue Story
Paddy has spent the last few months in foster care where he has shown just how affectionate, social and entertaining he can be.
He has formed strong bonds with his humans and adapted well to indoor living. Now, he is ready for a home that can match his energy, understand his needs, and enjoy everything that makes him such a character.
