Kaper

Kaper
Color: DSH Black and White
Age: Born Approx. Sept. 19/05
Gender: Neutered Male

History:
The devoted caretakers of a sterilized feral colony noticed this black and white
fellow one day, trying his best to get some food from the feeding station in the
sheltered area of the colony. His presence was not appreciated by the twenty or so cats that make up the colony, but Kaper persisted and managed to stay close to the area if not quite an integrated member of the colony. Before long, the caregivers began to suspect that this little guy was not feral and indeed, once he was trapped, they were right. Kaper was a totally socialized cat but needed to be neutered. It's likely he was abandoned in the area or perhaps due to being unneutered, he had wandered from his home and ended up in that area. Unneutered males feel compelled to wander.

Personality:
Before the Cat Compassion Centre closed, Kaper became quite subdued while he temporarily resided there. We felt he was lonely for human companionship and so he was moved to a foster home where he still currently resides. Says his foster mom, "Kaper is a fantastic cat!" She says he is easy going and likes people of all ages. Besides the adults, he lives with several other cats, three friendly dogs and a young child. He is a very tolerant and affectionate little guy and if he cannot find a cat to cuddle with, he'll find a dog that will. He would do great in an adoptive home with an easy going dog and a couple of playful cats. His foster mom feels he would do best in a stable family with a somewhat predictable routine (as most cats do). He would like to share the family bed, but for the moment, there's just a little too much competition for space! Instead, he likes to sit closely beside his foster mom when she takes a moment on the couch.
