Manyara is a spayed 11year old F2 Savannah female, that has been kept
almost all her life as a "cattery cat" where this meant being outside in
a caged enclosure. Recent weeks have meant a more indoor lifestyle and
Manyara is reported to have adapted easily and is also reported to be
more approachable and pettable.
Manyara was kept as a breeding female in an outdoor enclosure from
kittenhood, with access to an indoor room. As such, Manyara has never
lived as an indoor housepet. We believe that with time she will happily
adapt to a cushy pet lifestyle, but it requires understanding and
patience for her to come to enjoy being a pet.
Manyara's owner (Callmac Cattery) died and she then lived with the son
and his wife in similar conditions. Both the original owner and the son
were close to Manyara and she was affectionate with him but she did not
bond at all with his wife. The son has now passed and the wife feels
that Manyara would do better in a home that understands her needs and
will work on a bond.
Manyara was used to living among other cats and was very friendly and
happy that way, so we feel that with an appropriate patient introduction
she would be fine in a home with other cats. She has met dogs but
avoided contact, but has not interacted with children. She is not up to
date with vaccinations.
Although originally the owner reported that Manyara was aloof with her,
in the past weeks she brought Manyara into the cattery building and has
found that she adapted nicely to indoor living and has actually been
allowing her to approach and pet her. This really does give an
indication that with a properly understanding and patient home, Manyara
will do really well.
We feel that Manyara is a project, she needs to learn to be a pet. We
feel that patience and love will be rewarded. If you feel that Manyara
would be a good fit for your home, please email info@... and
tell us your location and give a description of your household and why
it would be great for Manyara.
