Tofu *Special needs*

There is hope in the world when good people extend compassion to creatures left to their own devices trying to survive out of doors. Tofu chanced on such when she was rescued by a kindhearted person whose driveway Tofu visited on a daily basis to ask for food. According to her rescuer, Tofu is quite okay with calm doggie friends. Tofu is a special older cat, and having a senior furry friend like her brings lots of good things. Seniors like Tofu have a way of making homes cozy and happy. She’s really polite and well-behaved, like a furry little lady! While she might not hop onto your lap, she’s super happy to sit beside you and wait for head and butt scratches – those are her absolute favourites! She is not shy and enjoys being the centre of attention. Most of Tofu’s day is spent snoozing, on a window sill, a soft blanket or a closet if she can get in; but sometimes, she’s a bit of a talker! She especially likes chatting around mealtime or when she’s feeling a little lonely. She’s also a great observer – she loves watching what you’re up to and hanging out right next to you while you work or watch TV. Tofu isn’t big on playing, but she goes crazy for catnip! She’s not a big fan of being picked up, but she’ll tolerate it because she’s a lady. You’ll never catch her hissing or swatting – she’s as gentle as can be! Tofu prefers a horizontal scratching surface when and if the infrequent urge crops up. She’s got perfect manners when it comes to using the litter box and loves her wet food, pâté-style being her favourite. Lately, she’s been discovering how yummy Temptations treats can be too. Tofu does need a bit of extra care due to hyperthyroidism (twice daily medication) and her fussy appetite as she only eats wet food - while most of the time she has a hearty appetite, sometimes she goes on strike! As she is already quite petite, she needs a guardian who is attentive to her delicate nature. Tofu apparently gets along with dogs, but not a big fan of cats. If you’re looking for a calm, loving cat to bring warmth to your life, Tofu might just be the perfect match for you! Would you like to make Tofu a part of your family?
