Meet Nutmeg the chatty cat who is currently at the RSPCA in Preston and needs a home in time for Christmas

Meet gorgeous ginger and white cat Nutmeg who is currently at the RSPCA in Preston and needs a home in time for Christmas.

Talented Nutmeg wrote his own profile for humans to look at.

He said: “Hi, I’m Nutmeg (although my fosterers think I suit George better!) I’m not fussed either way as long as they keep the meals and fuss coming my way!

“My humans at the RSPCA think I am about 3 years old, but they can't be sure as I was with so many other cats when I came into them!

“I have quite a tale to tell, I came from a house with over 160 cats in! So needless to say, I was a bit shellshocked at first to find myself in the cattery with my own pod.

“I really wasn’t sure what everyone was doing cooing over me and I hid away at first. But now I am in a foster home where I feel so much more relaxed and happier, and I will come out to greet my humans, I love a good head rub and stroke now!”

He added: “I like to explore, I am a sociable boy and love being talked to, I purr away and even make biscuits. I enjoy being stroked as long as you approach me in a way I am comfortable with (I am a bit wary of hands coming towards my face). I don’t really want tight cuddles but I’m ok if you need to pick me up to move me.

“In terms of play time, I really like smaller balls and my catnip toy. I am a bit afraid of the long wiggly flirt pole but a piece of string is fine! I love to chat to my fosterers, oh the conversations we have… hopefully my new owner will like a chin wag too.

“I am a huge foodie due to having to compete for food in my previous home, but hopefully I will feel more relaxed about food soon when I know I don’t need to rush any more. I am learning to eat a bit more calmly now but I am still learning to trust that another meal will come along, so I keep an eye on my foster pawrents to make sure they don’t forget!

“Although I am a very gentle soul, I am still learning to trust, but in time I will make a lovely companion for someone. As I am still learning about humans being ok, I would like my new home to be a quiet, adult only home with no other pets please.”
