Rescue Home Cat With Dracula-Like Fangs Finally Finds Loving Home
A rescue home cat with Dracula-like fangs has finally found the kind of happy ending many people thought he might never get. Timmy, a nine-year-old black cat, stood out for all the wrong reasons at first, but his unusual teeth and sweet nature made him impossible to forget.
He had been living at the Blue Cross rehoming centre in Lewknor, Oxfordshire, for around three months, and staff worried his vampire-like appearance might keep people away. Instead, one cat lover saw past the fangs and gave him the home he had been waiting for.
Now Timmy has the forever family he deserved all along.
She said: "We saw him on the Blue Cross website and thought he looked and sounded great.
His fangs didn’t put us off at all - he’s the sweetest, friendliest cat.
Our previous cat had one fang, so he reminded us of her. Timmy’s such a character, and we love him to bits.'
It’s a lot like the woman who captured a “possum” that turned into an affectionate lap cat, despite the weird first impression.
Re-homing black cats has always been difficult due to myths and superstitions, which make people think that they will bring bad luck.
Timmy risked spending the rest of his life alone, considering the fact that he has been returned to Blue Cross on four different occasions for unknown reasons.
Blue Cross rehoming centre's Nicola Rixson said:
'Timmy got lots of attention while he was with us because of his unusual appearance, and we were worried it would put people off giving him a home.
'Luckily, his wait paid off, and he’s found a great family who adore him.'
And animal welfare assistant at Blue Cross, Lisa Kent, added:
'The only supernatural powers Timmy possesses are those of unconditional love and affection, just like any other cat.
'Despite the similarity to the vampire villain, Timmy is a friendly chap, and we’re delighted that he has become part of a family again.'
After a cat traveled 12 miles and faced euthanization, his family chose him anyway, read this rescue decision.
