If you believe in reincarnation, then Prince was Liberace in a former life. Flashy, dramatic, glamorous, attention-loving sum up Prince’s lavish personality. Prince defines royalty with his luxurious fluffy white hair, his tan and brown Siamese markings with just a hint of tabby, and his soft blue eyes.
To be the recipient of his purrs will melt your heart – as will his rescue story. Prince and his brother Caesar (adopted) were well-loved indoor cats for the first five years of their lives. Sadly, their owner went into assisted living and could no longer care for them. Unbeknownst to the owner, these beautiful cats were cast out into the wild and left to fend for themselves. For a year and a half they were starved, neglected, and attacked by neighboring predators. When United Paws became aware that a “lost and injured cat” was found in a rural area in Tillamook County, volunteers sprang to the rescue. Caesar was the first to be found. He was in terrible condition, scared, suffering from malnutrition and had an infected, gaping wound on his neck. Several days later, it was learned that Caesar’s brother, Prince, was hiding, terrified, and was also wounded. Their rescue, prompt medical intervention, food, and loving care saved their lives.
Although Prince and Caesar are now robust and healthy, they suffered terribly from their abandonment and are still traumatized by new situations. Prince’s potential adopter must be patient and willing to give this beautiful boys time to adjust to his new environment, allowing him to feel safe and secure, knowing he is in his forever home.
Prince is outgoing but can be shy at first until he feels safe. Once Prince knows you are a source of pets and loves, he will shamelessly throw himself at you for more!! He is extremely affectionate and loves to play. His favorite toys are foil balls to bat around, spring toys and wands with dangling things he can jump at.
