The story

This is a male community cat in Marathahalli, Bengaluru, older than a year. He is extremely affectionate and friendly with people. He loves sitting on laps, purring and making biscuits, and he is well behaved and potty trained.

His family has to relocate within five days of posting on 12 October, and they already have an indoor cat who hisses and gets distressed around other cats, so he cannot stay with them. They need an urgent temporary foster who can keep him safe while a permanent home is found, or a committed adopter with a secure indoor home.

There is a medical history to know about. He was hospitalised for a week after his platelet count dropped significantly, and it has since returned to normal. He is eating, walking and behaving normally, but he has developed a large open wound on his inner thigh, and his family is arranging a vet assessment. They will share his full medical history and updates with any foster or adopter.

The ideal home has securely netted windows and balconies, and someone experienced with cats, given his current medical needs. Email [reveal email] or message the poster on Reddit. Photos and videos are available on request.
