New cat listed for rescue at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home - Phoebe

Phoebe is described as a Domestic Short Hair. Home Requirements Away from the city centre An experienced owner A quiet home Phoebe is looking for a quiet home with an experienced owner who have dealt with feisty cats before. She would like easy access outdoors once she has settled into her new home. Phoebe needs to be the only pet in an adult only household. Phoebe is an independent girl who sometimes likes human attention but only on her terms. She is confident in her surroundings but due to a past experience, does have a sensitive side and can become easily spooked by certain noises, particularly high-pitched ones. She requires a very quiet home, ideally with only 1 or 2 adults who can provide her with the predictable and stable home she needs. She likes having a cosy bed to curl up in but would like easy access to a garden so she can go outside whenever she wants to. She would be best suited to a home out of the city where there is lots of space for her to enjoy roaming around. Phoebe is playful at times, and she enjoys watching the world go by from the top of her climbing tower. Her love for food has allowed her to gain a few extra pounds in the past so her new owner will need to be mindful of this and keep her waistline trim. Phoebe is a cat who knows what she likes, and she can be a bit of a grump if people don’t respect her boundaries but for a committed and understanding owner, she will make a lovely companion.

In typical beagle style, she loves using her nose and sniffing out any and every interesting smell that she comes by so she may enjoy an activity such as scent work to help keep her stimulated. Mia can be wary in the vet or when anyone tries to touch her feet, so needs some understanding and patience to work through this.
