Please read ENTIRE description and consider before contacting us. We are
happy to answer any questions. We are looking for the BEST, permanent
home for her; please included why you are a good fit her.
Tiki is a very sweet, smart Savannah cat. She loves to sit on your lap
and cuddle (she doesn't really like to be picked up though). She will follow us from room to
room and come sit wherever we are. She will meow at you when she's
hungry, and will sometimes try to trick one of us into feeding her again
when someone else has already fed her (lol, she's very smart). She
loves to play, especially with pointer lasers. We love her very much and it is difficult to be giving her up.
We are moving at the end of this month and are unable to take her with us to our new home. Also, unfortunately, Tiki has been passed around from two other homes before
us. When we contacted the two previous owners, we were told different
reasons for why they were putting her up for adoption. The first owner
said that she had two other Savannah cats, and the owner was also having
health problems, therefore she had to give up Tiki (who was originally
named Tuppence). The next owner said she had never had a cat before and
realized she was allergic to cats. Then we stepped in and adopted Tiki
in August of 2014. However, we have come to realize that the most likely
reason Tiki was put up for adoption was because she occasionally poops
on carpets. In our first apartment home, we had an outdoor space where
she could be in, and the problem wasn't that bad. It happened about once
a month. For the past year we have been in a new apartment with all
hard wood floors. We did have some bathroom mats and areas rugs, and
that is where she would occasionally potty on (we have only found poop
on rugs, she seems to always pee in her litter box). The frequency is
about once a week. I think if she had an safe outdoor space to daily go out
into this would help a lot. I did some research on the issue and found
an article that stated that most rugs/carpet have a plastic coating on
the bottom that some cats find attractive...
We wanted to be very open with her issue, because we want her to find
her forever home. Like mentioned earlier, she is a very sweet cat and doesn't
deserve to be passed around. However, I have two little children, one
who is a crawler, so I
think best solution is to provide Tiki with a home equipped for her, preferably with a safe outdoor space.
*Diet*
Tiki has been on a strict diet since she was first adopted by her
original owner which we have continued. Her diets includes:
1/2 canned tuna or salmon (food-grade tuna not cat-food kind) (given in the morning)
a few ounces of raw chicken breast (warmed up with hot water) (given in the evening)
a little bit of specialty dry cat food for snacking and water (daily)
freeze-dried pure meats for occasional treats (usually purchased on Amazon)
*Items Included*
Adoption fee includes Tiki and her personal items (if you want them)
TICA certificate of registration (includes her breed and birth date)
Invoice showing last date of shots and medical examination
1/2 large bag of Taste of the Wild cat food (usually purchased on Amazon)
Food dishes
Food mat
Litter box
Cat condo (some of the cord is coming off)
Cat bed
Cat carrier for safe travel
