Loving home still needed for sweet Possum....

Sharon from Gulf Harbour

Hello neighbours,
I am still looking for the perfect home for Possum..... Do you know a kind, gentle cat person who would be keen to adopt my beautiful big boy Possum? I am moving to Perth and he would find the move so stressful being a gentle soul.

Possum (approx. 9yrs) is one of the most wonderful cats I have ever met (I have worked in cat rescues so have met quite a few…)

Possum is so gentle and loving and is always keen to rest alongside me on the sofa as he is too large for my lap. He is a big cat. He was abandoned in Matakatia 7yrs ago and I was unable to find where he came from. If I could find somewhere local for him that would be amazing.

Possum loves company and is a wonderful companion so would do well with someone who is home often. He would appreciate a quieter household and may not take well to dogs or young children. He would be fine with other easy-going cats or animals and birds as he is not a fighter/hunter. I have rescued and rehomed a number of cats over the time he has been with me, so he is good at adapting. He is well housetrained and loves the outdoors so needs his freedom and a good sized garden. He can be kept in at night with a litter tray.

We have always lived on larger properties and next to bush, so I would love to find a similar peaceful environment for him. He would not do well in high density housing or being too close to busy/noisy roads/areas.

This is an incredibly hard decision for me and I need to make sure his new home is perfect as he is such a special boy.

If you can help or know anyone that may be interested, please contact me.
Thank you for reading.
