Poor baby! Some cats are very shy and scared around strange people and places and in strange situations. have you considered screening possible adopter and having them visit him at your home? This might be much easier on him.

 

Maybe try feliway or spirit essences?

 

The problem is the interested adopters lost interest when they see him hissing- I have told people that he acts differently at home and invited them to visit him at my home but they all said no.

I have also sent out emails to my friends and asked them to forward the email with a flyer regarding Tango with his pic on it to their friends, family and co workers but have had no luck with that either.

Yes, I've tried feliway and it didn't help...

Here's some pics of Tango so u can see how CUTE he is.

 

How about a mild calming gel? When we brought Marsh home, we gave him 'Bene-Bac'. It's about $2 at the store, and we drove about 4 hours home without any issues - slept all the way. Maybe you should try it? It will definitely calm him down

Just saw your pictures, he's beautiful. Another thing you can do is print the pictures and put them on the cage as well, so others can see how warm and friendly he is.

 

I think if someone is serious about adopting him they will come to your home. I just don't think the right person has found him yet. I believe everything happens for a reason. I really think this person needs to meet him on his turf..in your home to see his true personality anyway. I know if I were looking for a cat I would see a cats true personality better that way anyway and be understanding of that. You should just explain that he gets very frightened about going places in the carrier and therefore needs to meet at your home. In the future this person should also cover the carrier with a pillow case when transporting.

Also, you might consider putting the cat on catster.com or petfinder.com if not already on there. Good luck, Tango will pick out his new owner soon...

 

Oh, Pamela, *BIG HUG*. You're so wonderful for fostering this little guy. Hang in there. His furrever family will come. Looking at Tango just tugs at my heart, as he looks so much like my Ginza, even that lovey-dovey face in the last pic.

Did you print that pic out? Maybe with a little blurb that says, "Please give this LOVEBUG kitty a chance....he's just stressed out here with all the noise and people. Will reward you with lots of cuddles at home. See?" with that pic underneath it. Something along those lines? Gotta be very short for people to quickly glance at it.

We'll keep rooting for ya over here.

That's a great idea! Instead of bringing him to adoption shows, just bring a big colorful picture with a short blurb. Put it on an empty small carrier that someone might peek into looking for an actual cat and explain the situation.

*nods* That sounds like the best idea to me...it will keep him happier and more stress free. He is such a cutie...I'm sure his future parents won't mind visiting him at your house.

 

Is he posted on the internet yet?? I think everyones idea of printing the picture and putting them at the adoption center explaining he is very stress out at the adoption center but a gem at home. Please come see him. He would love his forever home. With your phone number.. keep us posted on the progress. Tango is beautiful. 8)

Hi Superkitties! U and I must have been sending each other brain waves! LOL. I thought about that last mon and spoke with my SPCA contact person and it was agreed that I will not take TAngo to adoption shows- that I will email her a brief flyer with some colored pictures and my contact info and she will post that at adoption shows.

Yes he is posted on internet but no luck so far on that part.

Thanks for all the support and comfort. I will keep u guys posted on this.

 

Where can you get the calm kitty gel. Or the Bene-Bac? I wonder if it would help my Bell. She is my feral that lives in the house. But is so scared she hides all the time.

You can buy Bene-Bac at any pet store, but i'm sure it's not going to help since it's only a temporary solution. I heard for feral cats a very good idea is a 'feliway' plug-in The smell/sense seems to calm them down a lot
