Cleo is extremely fear aggressive and it is impossible to predict what might frighten her. Once scared, she lashes out fiercely without warning, and while she is recovering, which can take some time, she will continue to skalk and attack the person who she associates with the fright.
So she needs a room of her own, where she can settle in, getting used to new sounds and people, and which she can return to if scared, to keep her person safe, and to help Cleo to recover. She has had three homes where her new owners found her behaviour too hard to manage.
Cleo needs an indoor home where no children will ever visit and there are no other pets. She could live with a couple, where both people are happy to take their time getting to know her and take her fears seriously, or a single person. When Cleo knows and trusts someone, as she does me, it does not stop her from being scared, but she becomes less likely to react violently.
She is enormously playful and so incredibly affectionate. Anyone interested in her would visit several times to become a little bit familiar before she went home, and would follow advice carefully in order to bond with Cleo in the safest possible way.
Ideally Cleo would be homed not too far from Edenbridge, and I would do everything possible to help a new owner to settle her in.
For a brave, gentle, patient, compassionate person who will work hard to make things right for her, Cleo will be an absolute darling, as she is with me, loving, ridiculously playful and sweet. Please get in touch if you might consider offering this unusual little cat a chance at a new life.
