Buttons

About Buttons

Buttons is within the care of our North Antrim and Glens volunteers, but we deliver our adopted cats home anywhere in NI! Buttons is an affectionate older lady who is ready to settle down and enjoy her elder years. Exceptionally loving, Buttons adores attention and affection! She'll meow, purr, and even gently/politely tap you with her paw for pets if you don't provide them in a timely manner! And she'll never be far away when there's a nice lap available to curl up on. Being a larger lady, her mobility wasn't initially the best due to her size/arthritis - but she's come on leaps and bounds! She still likes her ramp to aid her getting up to bed, but she has now lost an impressive 10% of her body weight since coming into our care and she can now... actually jump! She receives a daily dose of inexpensive medication in her food for arthritis, and has become a lot more active. She's been working hard on her weight loss program, and she will need to continue on her diet in her new home as she's made great progress but still has a bit more progress to make. Buttons is a chill girl who likes to spend her days sleeping and getting cuddles! She likes to play occasionally, especially with anything catnip! And toddles along after you, as she loves to be in company. Her fosterers have described her as having a very 'comforting aura', and would be great company for someone looking for a lower maintenance love, to just enjoy each others time and affection. Her ideal home would be one where she can live a quiet life as the only pet in the household (she wants it all to herself! She's not a fan of other animals). She requires some help grooming areas that she can't reach on her own until she loses some more weight, but she absolutely loves getting brushed and her current weight loss has already really helped. She is indoor only for her safety due to reduced mobility, but could toddle about a truly secure garden - she hasn't shown much interest for the outside since coming into our care, she's more interested in loving her people. Buttons is very child experienced having had kids grow up around her, she is patient and very gentle - so children in the home or visiting the home are welcome!
