Cashew

Colour: DSH orange tabby
Born: Approximately April 22, 2022
Gender: Neutered male (microchipped)

History:

A curious home owner (who happens to be a PAW foster-provider) asked her neighbours why they were boarding up around the bottom of their backyard shed. The answer was that they were “tired of mother cats giving birth under it”. With all the nailing and hammering, apparently the most recent mother cat had bolted, along with all her kittens but one. That one (Peanut) was rescued almost immediately (and quickly adopted). A few weeks later, the remaining three kittens were trapped but sadly their orange mom was never captured. While Brazil remains unadopted, Hazel and Cashew were adopted. After three years, Cashew was returned through no fault of his own.

Personality:

Cashew’s sudden shift to a new environment didn’t worry him for long. After three years as an only-cat, he was suddenly confronted with a new foster-home with several felines. If this unnerved him, it didn’t last. He spent three days away from other cats, and then he was ready for company. He has a particular friend already with whom he pals around. He also is eager to join others in play, but he is as yet unsure of them. Was he missing the companionship of his own species all the time he was alone? Possibly, but we now know that he would benefit from living with another cat.

As for people, Cashew was ready and willing to meet new humans right away. He’s a friendly fellow who loves cuddling and wants affection from the people he meets. This handsome mancat is ready for his new and permanent home right now.

(He looks a little apprehensive in his photographs but these were taken very soon after he was brought to his new foster-home. He is a naturally relaxed feline.)
