Gucci

My story

Luxury Italian fashion comes to EHS!The fashionista in this instance is Gucci, who was surrendered after a paparazzi-like dust up with another cat, which unfortunately resulted in Gucci biting his owner. Moving on from this setback, Gucci is looking for a special forever family to be the recipient of his high-end, feline love.ABOUT GUCCI- In foster- Gucci is a gentle and calm boy as long as his boundaries are respected. - Sweet and affectionate, he loves to rub against his fosters’ legs to encourage them to give him more pets and attention.- He is a vocal boy who enjoys telling you how much he appreciates your affection. It’s his way of being petted on demand! Ever the diva though, he prefers to be petted on the carpet or the kitchen floor. - While he rarely says no to a belly rub, he’s not a cuddle bug and he tolerates being picked up, but doesn’t seem to enjoy it. - It’s important to note that Gucci has a history of reactive behaviour, which can be difficult to predict. When he’s upset, overstimulated, or not getting his way, gentle Gucci becomes grumpy Gucci, and he may bite or nip. While he takes medication to ease his feline feistiness, his forever family will need to watch his moods.- His foster family has found that Gucci thrives when they are patient with him and give him his space.- Gucci is very food motivated and very smart. His foster mom has put these traits to good use to bond with Gucci using clicker training and treats. Gucci is a quick study and loves to learn new tricks. - He enjoys playing, especially with the wand side of a feather toy or a belt, but only in short bursts. He tends to lose interest quickly.- Gucci is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.GUCCI’S IDEAL HOME- Gucci must be the only cat in the home. - He loves people but would do best in a quiet home without young children.- Gucci’s forever family should have previous experience with cats and be able to read cat body language.- Gucci takes daily oral medication for anxiety and a calming powder mixed with his food.- EHS will offer a short foster-to-adopt period before finalizing the adoption to assist Gucci with successfully transitioning into a forever home. During this time, our skilled volunteers will offer support to the potential adopters as they get to know Gucci and help ensure everyone settles in comfortably
