Meet Clay, a charming 17-year-old gentleman with a soft heart and an even softer purr. Clay is the definition of a mellow companion—he spends most of his day curled up in a sunny spot, snoozing peacefully or quietly observing the world around him. He’s completely deaf, but that doesn’t slow him down or affect his quality of life. Him being completely deaf also means he doesn't flicker when the hoover is on and won't be fazed by fireworks too! In fact, Clay enjoys a predictable, peaceful routine and adapts well with a little patience and love.
Clay had his thyroid removed due to a past condition, but he’s been thriving ever since. He’s easy going, affectionate, and especially food-motivated—mealtimes are his favourite part of the day. Clay doesn’t require much—just a warm bed, regular meals, and a gentle hand to scratch behind his ears.
Despite his age, Clay has a lot of love left to give. Due to being quite low maintenance and independent, Clay would be perfect for someone who is a busy person, or a more quiet home where he can feel safe and adored. If you're searching for a loyal, low-maintenance companion who’ll bring calm and comfort to your days, Clay may be the perfect match. He’s ready to settle into his final chapter with someone who truly cares. Cats Protection will send Clay to his new home with a one-off treatment agreement for his post-thyroidectomy check at 6 months. This is to just make sure all his levels have settled. He does have Stage 2 Kidney disease but this can be expected in cats of his age and we can give potential adopters information on this too.
