BROOKS (COURTESY POST)

Brooks is 1-2yo, weighs 12lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccinations, is microchipped, and is FeLV/FIV negative, as his veterinary records substantiate.  He's alone during the 8-10 hours, he roams the house and at night he sleeps on the couch or chair back.  Brooks dislikes/fears loud noises like fireworks.  "He really is a sweet boy…his energy is too high for my other 2 cats."

Brooks's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:

"I got Brooks about 4 months ago.  He is friendly and very energetic.  I have him as an indoor cat but he could be a great barn cat with really good hunting instincts.  He was found outside originally.  Even though he has been neutered for 3 months now, he is still too much for my other 2 cats. One who hasn’t come out of my bedroom for the entire time (4 months) that he has been with me.  I’ve tried everything to help them get along but he wants to chase her and tries to aggressively play with my older cat who is very ill right now and can’t deal with his energy.  She has now relegated herself to the bedroom with the other cat.  It is unfair to them so I’m sadly seeking to re-home Brooks.  He probably would be too much for another cat without his size and energy.  I’m not sure if he’d get along with dogs or not but he really is a very sweet boy and I’m sure would thrive in another situation."

Brooks's guardian offers a brief a medical history:

"Brooks was bitten by another cat in his first home.  This is why I decided to take him in.  He was treated for an abscess after this incident and just before I received him."

Brooks's guardian states the following regarding children:  Since Brooks doesn't live with children, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, stating "I just don't know if he has the patience for children".

Brooks's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Although Brooks doesn't live with dogs, his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "He doesn't seem to react badly at the vet".

Brooks's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Athough Brooks lived with cats, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating "He wants to play and can be too rough with small cats with less energetic personalities".

Brooks's guardian describes him as:

Very active
Playful
Friendly
Likes to be touched

Brooks's guardian describes his ideal future home:

"I think he would make a great barn cat.  He has great hunting instincts and is very curious. In a home, he’d be best with larger cats that are more non reactive or that will play back.  He can be rough when playing so I don’t think a home with young children would be the best but you know your own family."
