Chester Featherstone | Male | Fluffy House Panther (DLH) |
Rescue Story:
My BFF and I needed a new home as our owner was unwell and unable to care for us any longer.
Date of Birth: August 12, 2020 (est)
Energy Level: Medium
Size (adult): Medium

Good with Dogs? Very specific dog(s) only
Probably not. But maybe if a senior who will leave me completely alone.
Good with Cats? Bonded Pair
I must be adopted with my bff Zoomer. It may be best we are only cats.
Good with Kids? No
I am too shy to be around kids sorry.
Critter Twitter:
I am one stunning cat. I may take awhile to settle in, but when I do, I am quite playful. I may look like a black lion but I have the tiniest meow. I will purr for head and ear scratches, but, I am not a lap cat. I am very happy to do my own thing. I am more playful one of the two brothers, but I like to analyze a game or toy before I commit. One can't be too careful! #handsomecat
About my Behaviour:
I must be adopted with Zoomer as we are bffs. We get stressed if we are apart, especially initially, but once settled in, we are more inclined to do our own thing from time to time. Sometimes even though you love your brother, you need your alone time too.
We must go to a home that is very calm and is very understanding of how shy we are. We will take quite a while to settle in and you must be ok with that. We may never be lap cats, but, there's always the potential of it. Cats like us tend to bond very strongly to one or two people in the house. It just takes time. Slow pets and, slowly increasing it over time is essential, otherwise, we would hide all the time. Using wand toys will help with our confidence and feliway optimum to.
We might be ok with a calm senior dog who will just leave us alone. It would probably be best that we are only cats given our very shy nature.
Sometimes when I get overwhelmed, I will hiss but, I don't lash out. I just go to my safe space to be alone and destress.
Just so you know, I do know how to open cupboards, doors and drawers. Food and treats should all be kept in enclosed containers only.
How’s my Health?
I am fully vetted. I must only be fed scheduled meals, three times a day (morning, after work and before bed). This will help make our bond strong more quickly. It's possible to do twice a day and just leave out a tiny bit of dry, but not alot as Zoomer will get fat. I am currently on gabapentin for my anxiety. I should stay on it for at least a month after adoption to help me settle in more quickly. It's fairly cheap and Zoe's will provide whatever medication we have left at the time of adoption.
