Sweet, senior, snuggle bug Bucky is looking for a special, loving, retirement home. 14 year old Bucky is an incredibly friendly boy in good health for his age, who is used to going outside, so we would prefer a home with some safe outdoor space. We will also consider spacious homes that have a cat proofed balconies or courtyard for him. 

Bucky’s forever home should be a settled, adult-only home with someone on hand to give him company and fuss in between nap time, play time (a feather rod toy being his favourite) and of course mealtime! He is not a fan of other animals so will need to be the only pet.

If Bucky’s home has outside space he will need need a back garden to explore through a catflap in a safe location without easy access to the road. We would recommend a microchip catflap to avoid any uninvited visitors!

Bucky must always have access to an appropriate sized litter tray inside for his urinary health. Outside access is of course only after a minimum of six weeks in his new home.

Alternatively if Bucky’s forever home is indoor then his adopter needs to be committed to creating a stimulating and enriching indoor environment and ensuring it is safe, i.e. cat proofing any windows that will be opened, and fully cat proofing a balcony, terrace or garden if there is one. When catproofing a balcony this means ensuring it is fully enclosed, not permitting access is not usually sufficient. If their family are using the balcony, the cat should also be able to and whilst a cat will not jump if there is nowhere to go, accidents can and do happen so this is essential to do to ensure the safety of your adopted cat. The adoptions team can offer further advice on this.

Bucky is being fostered in Plumstead, SE18.

Before submitting an adoption enquiry it is important to ensure that you have read our adoption info page: Adopting a cat from Catcuddles.

No matter what their age, all adopted cats leave Catcuddles with trial insurance and this is important to take out. For our senior cats the trial insurance is with Agria and if a policy is purchased within the trial period then you’ll be able to take out a policy for lifetime cover to cover any new conditions that may occur in the future.

Our priority is to match felines with homes that suit their needs, character and long term requirements. Please be aware that when a particular cat receives an unusually high volume of enquiries, our dedicated adoptions volunteers will only be able to pursue the most promising. We appreciate your understanding.
