‘With a cool front coming in, and a rumble that shakes the windows, Stormy arrives; a cuddler rain or shine.’- Is that too much? I’ve been working on it all day, I want to make a good impression, but you would tell me if it was too much, right? Promise?
Umm, my name is Stormy. Honestly, I’ve got a big name but I’m just a little guy. I like cuddling under the blankets, and snuggling on the couch. I’m not loud like some other cats, so when I feel safe I like to be direct; a head bump and a rumbly purr to make sure you haven’t forgotten about me. I’m looking for my person, and I’m ready for the long haul, no matter the forecast.
Unlike seasons in Edmonton, at Cheery Cat Rescue, Springs come hard and fast. That’s because a couple of years ago, our caretaker took in a pregnant cat and could not find help getting her or her kittens spayed and neutered. If you know cat math, you know that’s a recipe for a lot of cats. By the time CCR was founded and stepped in there were 40 of us in the house and our caretaker was.. doing her best. With CCR taking point and AARCS playing support, we were all scooped up, properly vetted, and now it’s time for us to find homes that are a little less crowded.
You want to know if I’m good with cats? Listen, I’ve heard people talk about their ‘big families’ but we were a family of 40 living under one roof. Yeah, I’m pretty good with cats’ but a careful intro would be appreciated, I’m a soft little guy. Dogs freak me out a bit, but I’m willing to give it a try; with a nice slow introduction I think we could work something out. Kids? I could handle kids, as long as they understand that I’m not the biggest fan of being ‘handled’. Cuddled? Yes. Snuggled, Yes, please! Carried? In short bursts, I enjoy a stroll.
I am currently enjoying a Ziwi Peak kibble and a Friskies wet, but I’ve been known to dabble in a Fancy Feast. I have no dietary restrictions beyond habitual, so I could see enjoying some exploration and expanding my palate as long as we go slow. A dash of probiotic wouldn’t hurt either.
I have no medical issues, but I do prefer a clay litter to a pine one. I was a bit confused by the pellets when I first arrived in care and it led to some accidents, but it’s been smooth sailing since we switched over.
I’m a pretty quiet guy so unfortunately you won’t see me at Cheery Palace, but I have a wonderful foster so if you’ve got space in your home and heart for a little grey cloud, you’re welcome to come visit me there. Maybe between us we can be the first ray of Spring sunshine.
