*Nov16: Ginge has been waiting patiently for his forever home for almost 2 years. Please help give him a new home for Christmas*

Ginge is such a little darling and he's been in care so long we are hoping that someone out there will give him a go and get to know him.
Ginge enjoys playing with the other cats at his carers place and with his foster carer. His favourite game is chasing and eating dry food slid along the ground. He doesn't mind being picked up and held over your shoulder for a few seconds at a time. If you’re lucky he will stay there for a few minutes purring and kneading the air. With the command of 'Ginge gentle' he will lick your hand instead of biting when in a playful mood pretending he wanted a belly rub.

He had a very rough start to life so is extremely timid with unfamiliar people. He will run and hide in the smallest spot and won't come out for a good hour after visitors have left. As a result, Ginge would not suit a household with young children. He needs a forever home that will give him the time and strategies he needs to settle in.

As Ginge will not welcome you with open paws, he is able to come on a trial stay and can come back to his current carer if it does not work out. His foster carer can give some tips on introducing timid cats to a new home and family.

Please don't look past this very handsome boy, you won’t be disappointed once you have given the time to get to know him!!!
