How many people get to say they have their very own pirate?! Well fortunately for us, we do! And soon, you could too. Long John Silver is an adorably chatty and affectionate 12 month old tabby, now waiting to meet his new forever family.

Long John Silver’s personality:
This gorgeous boy is such a happy and content kitty, who most certainly hasn’t allowed his eye injury and past human treatment stop him from being the most loving and affectionate boy. Plus - you will absolutely melt into his beautiful green eye! Definitely a chatterbox, he loves to let you know when he’s not getting enough of your attention by starting up a meowy ‘conversation’ with you! Once he knows he has your full attention, he will shower you with all of that affection he has to give. Long John Silver is a very cheerful, friendly boy who loves to sit back and watch what’s going on around him before coming to you for a head pat, scratch under the chin, or just some general smoochiness. He is a beautiful, loving gentleman who is guaranteed to bring many years of happiness and joy to his lucky forever family.

Long John Silver’s ideal forever home:
Long John Silver has obviously been through a lot recently and would ideally love a home where he can feel safe and relaxed in his environment. He is a very friendly boy but would appreciate the patience from his new human family to settle in and feel secure. He likes to sit back at first and observe what’s going on around him before making the decision to come to you for affection. He would love a family who can treat him with gentleness but still have lots of time to play or just sit and chat. He appreciates his times of quiet but would prefer to know someone is there, should he need some reassurance and loving attention. He seems to be inquisitive about the other resident kitties at Sweet Pea but we anticipate he may be best as an only cat in the household so that he can have all the attention!

As with all of our precious rescue cats, Long John Silver will need to be kept as an indoor only boy.

Long John Silver’s story:
Long John Silver was found as a stray by a member of the local community and brought to us here at Sweet Pea. He wasn’t microchipped or claimed, so any further details about his history are unknown. When he arrived, LJS had a pretty severe injury to one of his eyes, which meant he had lost the use of it. Despite this, it did not appear to bother him or stop him from being the most affectionate pirate ever! He has recently had surgery to remove his eye which will prevent any future complications stemming from the injury. He has shown amazing adaptability to his new surroundings, showering anyone he meets with cuddles and affection.

Long John Silver’s medical history:
As mentioned above, it is unclear as to how Long John Silver obtained the injury, but he has recently had surgery to remove his eye – ensuring that it will no longer cause him any pain. Long John Silver has also been desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and is up to date with all flea, tick and worming preventatives.
