About Puma

Puma is a handsome boy who loves being around people and rubbing up against them to say hello. However, he likes affection on his own terms! Sometimes he simply wants to come over for a rub and enjoy your company without wanting you to return the attention. Puma can become overstimulated very easily, so he needs an experienced cat family who understands feline body language and knows how to read his cues. He will give warnings when he's had enough, and it's important these are recognised and respected. Patience, a calm approach and respecting his boundaries are key to building a trusting relationship with him. Puma is looking for an experienced cat owner who understands feline behaviour and an adult-only home with no children. He would best suit a calm environment where his boundaries are respected with a family or individual who appreciates a cat who enjoys companionship without constant physical affection. Puma would enjoy the company of other cats in his new home given a slow and proper introduction and may be happy with a suitable feline friend! Puma is a lovely boy who just needs someone willing to understand him and love him on his terms. If you appreciate an independent cat who enjoys being close without always wanting cuddles, Puma could be the perfect addition to your home!
