About Bamby

Bamby was rescued from a shelter after her original owner passed away. She is a 4 year old Bombay. Her current owner fell in love with this petite little kitty girl and was hoping that he could integrate her with his male resident kitty who has been his buddy for 5 years. Well, sometimes integrating felines with other felines is just easier said than done, so after 6 months of trying he has come to the sad realization that Bamby and his kitty boy just won't become friends. He heard about our organization and asked our help with finding a wonderful home for this little princess, and we said we would be more than happy to make that happen. This is what the Cat Fanciers' Association states about the Bombay breed: It has been said that if you want a dog, a cat or a monkey all rolled into one mischievous package, then the Bombay is the breed for you. They can be leash trained, and most enjoy playing 'fetch' and are fond of inventing new ways to entertain themselves and the humans with whom they live. Bombays are congenial, outgoing and make intelligent, affectionate companions. They adapt well to busy life styles and usually get along with children, elders and other pets. The Bombay generally combines the easy going temperament and robust nature of the American Shorthair and the social, inquisitive, lap-loving character of the Burmese. So we already know that Bamby does not seem to care for a feline companion; it could be that she may do okay with another mild mannered female but there are no guarantees. Her current owner states that she seems to be a bit hesitant around young children and he doesn't know how she would be around dogs since he doesn't have any dogs. However, he has noticed that Bamby seems to be enamored with men. When one of his male friends came over, Bamby came right up to him and invited some pets. She definitely likes to be on her current owner's lap and doesn't mind when he holds her. She actually jumped up on his shoulder once and hung out there for a while - he laughingly said it reminded him of a parakeet he had a few years ago. She is a sweet little cat who likes to hang out in shoe boxes, who loves to cuddle once she knows and trusts you, and who would prefer being a single princess so she can have her new parent(s) all to herself.
