MEDICAL NOTE: Matthias has epilepsy but his seizures are managed by medication. At his annual vet check he will require a blood test of his medication levels to check that it is stable. After his adult teeth appeared he has had juvenile gingivitis, which most cats grow out of by the age of two but in the meantime is managed with an oral gel.
 

About:

Matthias is a handsome tuxedo with the cutest face and huge green eyes.
 
He likes to rub against your leg for attention or food and perch near your shoulder on the couch.
 
He accepts pats and being picked up and carried around but then gets a bit wriggley and wants to get back to perching on his cat bed/post.
 
He is confident and independent and sometimes likes to chase, play with or snuggle other cats but other times likes to hang on his own.
 
Matthias came into care as a skinny, sick, flea-ridden kitten after living rough with his brother who was much bigger than him. He has come such a long way and after a difficult start to life deserves a safe, loving forever home.
 
When he was 6 months old, he had a seizure and was diagnosed with epilepsy. He accepts one tablet in food and the other with a creamy treat. He is quite easy to tablet and while he’d prefer not to have them, he will come looking for you as soon as you open the fridge, hoping that you’re getting his creamy treat ready. It’s important that he receives his medication to ensure that his seizures are controlled, so needs a foster person/family who is committed to doing that.
