About Bugsy

Bugsy is a handsome tabby boy believed to be around two to three years old. He came from the alleyways of Levenshulme, where a lovely local lady has been feeding him and the other alley cats and keeping a watchful eye on them. Since being neutered, Bugsy has decided that he rather likes his home comforts. These days, he loves nothing more than curling up beside someone on the sofa or bed and snoozing the day away. Bugsy is currently living in Levenshulme. Now that he has discovered how much he enjoys being indoors, we would love to find him a comfortable forever home where he can spend the rest of his life warm, safe and loved, rather than living in an alleyway. He is a gentle, easy-going boy who does not ask for much. Give him someone to cosy up beside, a feather stick to chase and a peaceful home where he can feel safe, and he will be perfectly content. Bugsy can be shy and anxious when he first meets people, so he will need an understanding adopter who will allow him to settle at his own pace. Once he feels safe, he makes a lovely, quiet companion. Bugsy is FIV positive, but please do not let that put you off. FIV is a very slow-acting, cat-specific virus, and many FIV-positive cats enjoy long, happy lives with a normal lifespan. It cannot be passed to people or other animals. The main route of transmission between cats is through deep bite wounds during fighting, rather than through normal everyday contact. Bugsy is currently in good health. However, as he can be a bit of a scrapper with other cats, he needs to be the only cat in his new home. He will also need to live indoors to keep both him and other cats safe. Approximately two to three years old Neutered FIV positive but currently in good health Indoor home only Must be the only cat Quiet, child-free home needed Gentle and affectionate once settled Loves feather-stick play and a cosy place to snooze If you are looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion who will be happy sharing the sofa and keeping you company, Bugsy could be the perfect cat for you.
