Gums is a very special cat, for starters, her age is unknown cos she has no teeth, but we suspect that she is up to 10 years old already based off her mannerism.

When we found her, her teeth were rotten and she was in chronic pain. Her teeth rotted because, unfortunately, she suffers from FIV. She had gone through surgery to remove all the bad teeth, and now she is in the best shape she has probably ever been- With a single harmless tooth left.

Her health condition is manageable, she sees the vet once a year and she has not shown any decline at all.

She just gets a bit of dark discharge under her eyes, a symptom of FIV as it affects the eyes, ears and mouth. There are times her ears gets quite waxy and dirty too. You just need to gently clean her eyes and ears with some saline solution and she is as good as new.

Also occasionally if she gets a wound, it takes longer to heal. Nothing a little iodine can't help. She does not need to take any medication. She is very easy when we have to do any maintenance to her.

She is considerably deaf, so she sleeps very peacefully during a storm or when there are fireworks. This is a plus.

She likes watching TV, she can stare intently at the moving screen for some time.

She does not jump very well, so her jumping on high furniture will not be an issue.

She is the most chatty cat you could ever meet. She gets particularly loud when it comes to her feeding time. Something to get used to. She is very greedy when it comes to food but do not give into her or she will get fat.

She also tends to drink a lot of water, she can spend up to 30 seconds to 1 minute drinking water. We checked her kidneys and she has no kidney issues, she just does this out of habit.

She takes a bit of time to warm up to new people, you have to have patience with her. Once she is comfortable, she likes to sit next to you.

She is very funny when she plays, cos she gets real crazy. She also hops like a rabbit when she gets zoomies. Its adorable.

She can be very territorial; Without hesitation, she has chased a monkey up a flight of stairs and out of the house (we live next to a forest and monkeys are around). She has also chased much bigger cats out of the compound. She is quite fearless.

Due to her disease, it is not advised for her to live with other cats. It would be best to find an experienced pet owner that is looking to have a single cat. I am not sure what she would be like with a dog, but she has been a single cat for some years now.

I hope I can find a loving forever home for her, I am planning to move out of the country sometime next year and I have 2 cats of my own. I cannot take her with me.

Please connect with me if you are looking for a pet to love, Gums will not disappoint!
