Mac

This is Mac.  I got him from the Humane Society when I was 20 years old, and he was 2 months old, in August 2003. So that makes him 7 years old and some. I got him because I love cats, especially tuxedo cats, and an apartment without a cat felt like something was missing.  I spent OSAP money on getting him fixed and taking care of a hernia he came with. Needless to say, like most 20 year olds, I wasn't thinking much about the future. 

Though I try hard to be a conscientious pet owner, it never occurred to me when I got him that circumstances in my life would change to a point where I wouldn't be able to provide for Mac. Now I am almost 28, and they have. Changes in my personal life mean I have to move out of the studio I live in in Toronto, so I made the decision to move to London UK to pursue my career as a fashion illustrator, and am anticipating a number of years in my future where I won't have the stability and routine that Mac, like any indoor cat, craves.

So I am trying to find a new, kind home for Mac, and a new owner who understands and appreciates the habits of a grown-up cat.  Mac is used to a quiet home, ideally without kids and dogs.  He has lived with other cats and knows how to get along in a multi-cat home. I would be happy to make arrangements anywhere in Southern Ontario for the right owner. If you are able to take him in, or know someone who may be interested, please call 416 603 6671 or email finalfashion@gmail.com.  Thank you!

Mac has pretty quiet habits, and he mostly likes to be left alone. Like most cats, he spends a lot of time sleeping, sitting at the window, lying around.

He is somewhat shy. It takes a while for him to get comfortable around new people. He is affectionate with people he is familiar with, so if he seems a bit stand-offish at first, understand that he will warm up to you over time. Mac is an innately subservient animal. He tends to let other cats dominate, and just generally prefers to mind his own business.

He is comfortable around me, I can tell you that he is a very good friend to the people who take care of him and are patient enough to develop a relationship. He likes to sit next to me and be pet, he curls up at my feet when I sleep, and he is always affectionate towards me. He has a very quiet, subtle purr, and adorable mannerisms and expressions.

He still occasionally likes to play, especially with shoelaces and such, which is fun. Since he is a large cat (16 pounds and not at all overweight, just solid) he needs a very sturdy scratching post. I attached this carpet sample to the post in the studio and it is his preferred scratch central, so he's happy to leave furniture alone as long as you provide something more fun to scratch.

He takes good care of himself. He in good shape, and has a clean soft coat. He loves getting brushed and getting compliments on his fine appearance. He has to eat the Urinary SO food (about $19/month, at the vets), and as long as he gets this type of food he maintains a very healthy condition. He always gets fed twice a day and he meows when its time to eat.

If you are able to take him in, or know someone who can, please call 416 603 6671 or email finalfashion@gmail.com. Thank you so much for your attention and consideration!
