Free to a good home - if you can catch him and domesticate him, he is all yours - he is gradually becoming tamer. =D

UPDATE: PHOTOS - Photo 1: Black Boy Cat. Photo 2: Black Boy Cat. Photo 3: Black Boy Cat is on the left, and his Mama Cat is on the right. =D
My cleaning customer not far from me here in my suburb of Te Atatu South, has a rather handsome, healthy, thick-furred adult black boy cat hanging round his house. My customer said he was thinking of having him put down! I said no - it'd be a shame to put him down - he's so beautiful and healthy! This black boy cat is the son of my customer's now-desexed, formerly stray female cat he's adopted - he is quite a bit larger than his mum already, but still tries to hide behind her when we come near! My customer will get a photo of this black boy cat when he can. =D We think the boy cat is desexed (one of his neighbours may have had the cat desexed, but we don't think she or anybody actually owns him - he is rather skittish but will eat cat biscuits left out). He is becoming gradually less and less afraid of humans, he even sat on the deck a couple of metres away (with the sliding door closed), watching me vacuum the lounge, and he hangs around his mum (who just came in for a pat today - she's become a lot tamer already, and may be teaching him that humans are ok) a lot, so I think there is hope that he could become a good pet. =D
