Description
📍 Ramsgate, Kent
We are looking to rehome two cats — a mother named Tina and her son — into a responsible and caring home. While we would strongly prefer for them to be adopted together due to their bond and shared history, we are open to considering separate homes if the right situation comes up.
The female cat, Tina, is 7 years old, an adult spayed ex-queen. She is extremely affectionate and very people-oriented. She loves attention, enjoys close contact with people, and will actively seek affection. She has a very gentle temperament, has never shown any aggression or stress-related behaviour, and is generally a calm and loving companion. She is a healthy cat overall and has never had any ongoing or pre-existing health conditions. The only medical issue in her history was a complication related to nursing in the past, where she developed severe mastitis which led to tissue damage and required a surgical procedure to clean and suture the affected area. This was a one-off incident linked to lactation, and she made a full recovery. Other than this, she has always been in good health. She will need her vaccinations updated. She is indoor-friendly and would suit a home where she can receive lots of interaction and affection. There is a rehoming fee of £150 for her.
The male cat is her son. He is being rehomed free of charge to a suitable home. He is a neutered, microchipped pedigree kitten and both cats are TICA registered. He has not yet been vaccinated. He was born at a normal size as part of a litter of two kittens. Around one month of age, he began to fall behind in growth and started losing weight. At that stage, he was not eating on his own and required assisted feeding for a period of time, which we managed at home. Despite this difficult start, he remained playful and interactive.
When it came time for his vaccination and routine vet check, he was examined by a vet but we decided not to proceed with vaccination at that stage, as he was still very small, not eating independently at the time, and we were concerned about putting additional strain on him. For this reason, vaccination was postponed and ultimately not carried out at that time. After this period, his condition improved significantly, and he began eating on his own, gaining weight, and developing normally.
At a later stage, a vet on two separate occasions raised a strong suspicion of PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) based on auscultation. However, this is not a confirmed diagnosis, and we do not have certainty either way as no further diagnostic imaging was performed. This is our first experience with a situation like this, and there have never been any previous heart-related issues in our cats or kittens. Both parents are healthy, and there have been no similar concerns in any earlier litters or medical history. For this reason, we are rehoming him as he is, based on his current condition and behaviour, without making assumptions about his long-term prognosis.
He also has an umbilical hernia, which is noticeable in size and may require veterinary assessment and possible surgery in the future.
Over time, he improved significantly. He is now fully active, playful, eating well, and has caught up physically, with no obvious issues in his day-to-day behaviour. He is a little shy at first, but very affectionate once he trusts people, and he enjoys interaction and attention.
Both cats are indoor-friendly and used to human contact.
