About Smudge & Belle
Hi, I’m Smudge and this is my feline companion, Belle. We’re sadly looking for a new home together as we weren’t getting on very well with the new baby in our home. If you would like to know more about us, then please read on.
Our personalities:
We can both be a bit shy at first, but generally I’ll be the first to make friends with new people, and usually Belle will start to warm up to you soon after. Once we’ve had some time to get to know you, we’re both incredibly friendly and enjoy human company. We especially love head scratches and chin rubs, and whilst I’m a lap cat who loves to snuggle, Belle would much rather be next to or near to you.
Children:
In our new home, we would not like to live with children. Sadly we struggled to adjust to the new baby in our previous home and find younger children a bit scary and overwhelming.
We would like to live in either an adult only home, or as part of a calm family home with older teenagers.
Other animals:
We are looking for a home together as the only pets, and wouldn’t like to share our home with other cats and dogs.
Additional needs:
We have previously lived as indoor only cats, but we’ve been enjoying having a little outside space of our own here in the cattery, and would love to be able to have a safe garden to call our own, away from busy roads. We will need a slow introduction to the great outdoors, and it’s not known if we will wander or hunt.
As we’re British Shorthairs, we can be predisposed to breed specific health issues. If potential adopters have experience of our breed, this would be ideal or be willing to do plenty of research into the British Shorthair breed.
We would make such lovely companions to the right people. Could we be your purrfect match? Love from Smudge and Belle xxx
