I’m a short-haired, all-black female of 2 years. I’ve been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and am fit and well but am very allergic to Zoflora other cleaning agents. I eat biscuits only and have come in because I’ve started toileting around the house so am unsanitary and unsafe with a new baby on the way.

My owner says I’m friendly and cuddly but staff at the Ark have noticed that I also have “attitude”. I’m said to be good with children, dogs and other cats.I was house-trained until about 6 months ago when I started using anywhere in the house as a toilet, fo no known reasonI was kept as a house cat. However, I’ve been clean and using my litter tray since coming into the Ark. It’s very likely that the sudden onset of this behaviour has a reason and something about my life didn’t please me. I may have objected to other animals in the home, my mum’s pregnancy or didn’t want to be a house cat any more, but I can’t tell you. If I’m allowed out in my new home I’ll need a very safe, traffic-free area as I’ll have no road sense. As I’ve shown I can be unpredictable, I shouldn’t be homed with young children.
