Hey, I have a friend who knows of a cat in need of a good home. His name is Sunny, he's a beautiful grey male cat in Martinez, CA. He is about 10-12 years old, neutered and healthy.

I don't know all the details, and the story is one of those complicated and sad ones of a cat that seems to be passed around due to circumstances/poor guardianship. He was adopted years ago by my friend's cousin who decided later he didn't want at cat and gave him to my friend. He was an indoor/outdoor cat, but when my friend moved to Oakland he decided it was too dangerous for an outdoor cat and my friend's mom took him in. He's lived there for years now, pretty happy from what I understand.

The reason he needs a new home is because my friend's brother moved into this house with 6 kids, wife and wife's cat. The wife's cat is being such a bully that Sunny won't go outside anymore and is going to the bathroom in the garage. They are looking to rehome him, but so far no luck with no-kill shelters ( I also suggested NextDoor and FB). I doubt anyone has tried any type of reintroduction, especially since poor Sunny doesn't seem to have much in the way of advocates and no one really understands cat language in this situation. My friend can't take him back because he is married now to someone who is very allergic.

Please PM me if you want more information or know of anyone that might be interested. My friend thinks he would do best in a quiet single-cat household, but personally I think a quiet household with another cat and a guardian that understands how to properly introduce them might be fine as well. I or my friend could help with transportation if needed.

Name: Sunny
Age: About 10-12
Sex: Male, Neutered
Disposition: Passive, timid in current household. He would always come in the house whenever my friend came to visit and was very affectionate and snuggly with him.
Location: Martinez, CA

And what everyone us waiting for, here's the cutie:

From my understanding they are both indoor/outdoor cats and the wife’s cat is dominating all of Sunny’s spots and he is very stressed.

I don’t think anyone in this household is looking for a solution where they keep the cat, and I don’t have much influence since it’s the family of a friend. I’ll mention it as a possible solution, though. I doubt any real introduction steps were taken.
