Sid

Sid’s story began when we received a call from a lady who explained that there was an un-neutered Tom cat terrorising her neighbourhood. She said that the cat was vicious and had attacked several cats on the estate, but her cat was his latest victim. He’d caused extensive vet bills for several owners and the estate had had enough of him! A trap was set for the Tom and we soon had the cat.

Back at the sanctuary, at first we put him in a cage in our utility room where he could see plenty of activity and we could assess what he was like. He was indeed, quite an angry fella and had several bad scratches and wounds. We decided to name him Sid, after Sid Vicious! Dr. Ruth was booked for a visit later in the week and neutered Sid in the surgery. Once he’d come round and had a meal, we moved him to our outdoor Catio, which adjoins the Cabin. The Catio is an enclosed outdoor area with a climbing tree and little houses and it also provides access into the Cabin via a cat flap. Sid seemed to take to living in there, we had hoped that he would venture inside the Cabin, but he is very comfortable outside and stayed in the Catio all through winter.

Sid is now happy to have other cats around him, who come and go from the Cabin, and is very calm natured now. He will tolerate a little bit if fuss from us but it’s very much on his terms which is fine with us! Would you like to sponsor him?
