Casey is currently in the care of the UKRCC, as his owner was no longer able to care for him.
He is a 7 year old, seal colourpointed Ragdoll. His is neutered, but his vaccination status is currently unknown. He is micro chipped.
Due to neglect, Casey's coat is severely matted, with large, dense knots, close to his skin. Brushing and knot splitting is not adequate to deal with the matting and is too distressing for him, so Casey is going to need a de matt done at the vets, under sedation. His tummy is so badly knotted, it is likely that it will need completely shaving. He will be having a health check at the vet later this week and we shall discuss the de matt with the vet then.
Casey is a very friendly, vocal Ragdoll. He has adapted well to life in foster care and has settled quickly. He is eating well and uses his tray reliably.
We are seeking a home for Casey, but he will not be ready to join his new family until he has had his de matt and we have sorted out his vaccinations. It may be that he requires an entire course.
Casey needs a child free, dog free home, where he will receive lots of attention and human companionship. He has been used to living indoors for the past two years. Casey has a long, dense coat, which is prone to matting and will require daily grooming. His new owner will need to be willing to dedicate time to keeping his coat in good condition and establishing a grooming routine. Casey tolerates being brushed, but he does not particularly like it, probably because it is uncomfortable with all the knots, so his owner will need to persevere and be patient, while Casey learns to cope with his grooming regime and develops trust. If Casey is not groomed regularly, he will matt again, badly.
If you feel you can give Casey a life long commitment and can cope with spending time grooming him daily, then please complete our online form
