TABBY
The Smirking Gentleman
3 years old, neutered, male
Available
For adoption anywhere in the UK
Tabby is a three-year-old tabby boy with striking green eyes and a look you won’t forget. Rescued from a cat colony, he stood out right away. Because of an old injury, one of his canines had to be removed, leaving him with a little curled lip — it makes him look like he’s always smirking.
He’s curious, moderately playful, and kind. Food is his biggest love, and he will be letting you know when it’s time to eat — usually by making an appearance in the kitchen and politely meowing for an extra portion. Outside of mealtime, he’s a quiet cat who rarely makes a sound. He’s perfectly happy entertaining himself with toys, relaxing in his bed, or watching the world go by. He’s also a gentleman when it comes to sleep — settling quietly through the night and patiently waiting for breakfast in the morning.
Over time in his foster home, Tabby has relaxed so much that there are no longer any “don’t touch” spots — he now enjoys being petted all over. That said, he still has his quirks: he does not like being picked up or carried and will do everything in his power to wriggle free. He’s an independent, easy-going lad — not clingy or demanding. One day, he might be incredibly tender and affectionate; the next couple of days, he may keep to himself entirely… and then the cycle starts again.
When he does want attention, he’s not shy to come over and lean against you — sometimes with half his body, as if testing the waters. He’s perfectly fine being on his own and doesn’t need constant company.
Tabby does have a few dislikes — the sound of the hairdryer will send him straight under the bed, and he’s wary of the vacuum cleaner if it’s running nearby. Otherwise, he’s easy-going with household noise.
An apartment would suit him perfectly — he’s not interested in going outdoors and is content in a smaller, calm space. He’d likely do well with children aged 12+ who understand boundaries and is equally friendly with both men and women.
With his one-of-a-kind smirk, calm nature, and a perfect balance of independence and affection, Tabby is the kind of cat who will quietly make himself part of your life — and surprise you with just how much you look forward to those moments when he chooses to share his company.
Tabby also lives with chronic kidney disease (stage 3), which means he needs a bit of extra care: renal food, occasional subcutaneous fluids, and a daily medication to help manage his condition. With this routine, he continues to live a happy, comfortable, and loving life — a true gentleman who’s absolutely worth every bit of care and affection.
