Ioana, one of Anca's helpers, studies veterinary medicine in Iasi and lives there during the semester in a small flat near the university. One day, on the way from the university to her flat, she met a female cat that was in a very bad physical condition. Thin, sticky eyes, her fur was shaggy and on top of that the cat probably had her offspring somewhere, because her teats were giving milk. Ioana followed the cat, hoping that she would lead to her kittens. And indeed it did. In a niche in the wall in a backyard the she-cat had her offspring. 3 kittens. These kittens were not in a good condition either. Much too thin, covered with vermin and 2 of the kittens had eye problems. Ioana took all 4 kittens to her flat for their first care. A short time later, Ioana visited her mother (Anca's foster home and helper) in Trusesti and handed over the cat family to her.

Findus is one of Ioana's 3 kittens and has developed into a handsome brown/grey tabby male. Since he was found, he has been living in a foster home of Anca, together with other cats and tomcats. Of course there are little fights here and there, as is so common among cats, but never anything serious. Findus prefers to avoid trouble. Findus also knows dogs and chickens and has no problems with them.

From time to time Findus is allowed to move freely in the garden and enjoy the sun. He likes to be persuaded by his cat friends to play a game of tag and chase them around the garden. Findus is friendly, cuddly and affectionate with us humans. He likes to snooze on a bench and watch his foster mum working in the garden and is very happy when she goes over to him and strokes him. Giving head, purring, yes, Findus likes that. And when he has had enough, he goes his way, just like a cat.

Since Findus is used to going outside, we think that in the long run only a cat-proof balcony will not be enough for him. Therefore, we are looking for a home for Findus with possible outdoor access (after he has got used to it) in an area with little traffic. There should also be at least one other cat waiting for Findus in his new home.
