Kazimir

ID: 257102

Adopted!

Kazimir (aka Kazzi) is a striking long haired grey tabby who is around the age of 5 years old and is already neutered. His original owners unfortunately separated and neither party could keep him.

Kazzi is very social and loves attention. He is housed in a high kennel at the moment and he loves to look out at everything around him. He has been let out to wander a bit and seems naturally cautious but curious of the other cats. He didn’t live with other cats at his original home.

Kazzi is currently sporting a lion cut due to the fact that his coat was very matted on arrival. The BC SPCA insists that cat owners with long haired cats must regularly brush the coat to ensure that matting does not happen. While brushing, anything that may be going on under the coat can then be found and treated if necessary. Large mats begin to pull the skin underneath and cause lacerations, which then can become infected if not treated immediately.

Brushing can be annoying to some long haired cats, and sometimes they will fight the brush. Go slow with your kitty and try and make it a positive experience for both you and your cat. There are many different brush styles available, so once you find the right one for your cat, regular brushing will become more natural. Once the initial mats are either cut or brushed away, the brush will move easier through the kitty’s coat, causing less pull and pain. Like children, cats don’t always understand that getting their mats out is important to their overall health, so gentle prodding may be needed.

If Kazzi sounds like the right kind of guy for you, please contact the BC SPCA Trail Branch at 250-368-5910 or trail@spca.bc.ca.
