Long-term foster week: Buckley


During this week I'm featuring wonderful cats who have been in foster care for a while. BUCKLEY is a fantastic cat who was found in a feral colony! But he's no feral cat. Fostermom Sarah writes: "This pic shows Buckley's ferociousness when it comes to window treatments. Grrrrr."

Sarah also says about Buckley "He's kind of a "bro cat". He plays hard, he naps hard, he eats like a champ. But he's the farthest thing from being too cool for kisses and snuggles--he loves to curl up on my lap or next to me on the couch. He will even wedge himself between me and the back of the couch while I'm watching a movie and make himself a little "snuggle fort" and purr away. ◊ He's extremely curious about everything! Where the water comes from in the faucets, what makes the vacuum cleaner so noisy (although he keeps his distance), what I'm actually doing when I do the dishes, what's in the refrigerator (he actually tries to climb in there!), what's behind his litter box, what's at the end of a string...it keeps me smiling! ◊ He's become quite the chatty little guy! If I ask him a question or even just throw a general "Meow!" his way, he'll usually answer...or talk back. I can never tell! ◊He's awesome at letting me trim his front claws. Mostly he just goes limp and I can tell he's all "just get it over with".

He'd make a great addition to any family. He'd be a great companion if you live on your own, or an awesome buddy if you're a couple, and he'd love to be in the action if you're a family with kids."

He and Tiberias would make a wonderful pair in a home. They match, and both sound like such fun!

If you look at the back of Buckley's head in the first video still frame he actually has a heart shape that encompasses his ears. Cute!

I've been trying to convince my partner that we should adopt this guy. Unfortunately...it's not working! I will keep trying...

Laura! I'm Buckley's fostermom, Sarah--please get in touch with HPC to come see Buckley! Even if your partner is on the fence, just come visit with him for a little bit. You'll both see how sweet and charming he is and I'd love to meet you! :)

He really won't let me! We are fostering until I can convince him that we should have our own kitty. He is a little bit anti-cat but I am breaking him (we had Alba last and he thought she was kind of cute and funny) I will let you know if I can convince him to come visit...
