Aslan

About Aslan

A lion-sized cat with cheeks to match—and the sweetest kitten expressions. Aslan is a fluffy ginger gentleman, estimated to be three to five years old. His wide eyes, curious head tilts and playful moments reveal a softer side to this impressive boy. He is a sweet, placid boy. Rescued from the pound with an engorged paralysis tick, Aslan had a difficult start. Now safe in care, he is learning to enjoy gentle pats, comfortable surroundings and quiet company. He makes a lovely study buddy, keeping you company while you get on with your day. Aslan is sensitive and needs time to feel secure. His ideal home would be calm, with a patient person who lets him settle at his own pace and enjoys watching his confidence grow. Aslan is FIV-positive. Many cats with FIV enjoy years of good quality life, but the virus can weaken their immune system and increase their risk of infections and dental or gum disease. His adopter will need to provide regular veterinary checks and seek prompt care if he becomes unwell. FIV mainly spreads between cats through deep bite wounds. Peaceful cats living together have a low transmission risk, but compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Any home with resident cats would need careful discussion with the rescue and the adopter’s veterinarian. Aslan is desexed and vaccinated and needs an indoor-only home with secure windows and doors. Please contact Cat Rescue Lake Macquarie to discuss his care and whether you could offer this gentle giant his forever home.
