SPCA adopt me: Ambrose

One-year-old Ambrose is a confident and friendly ginger cat who SPCA staff say is a real Kiwi bloke.

Feline attendant Jenna Fowler calls Ambrose a "man's man" - the perfect companion for someone who likes spending time in the garage or in the garden.

"We call him a dog cat. He would be great for someone who likes dogs but can't have one," said Mrs Fowler.

However, the tomcat can be a little feisty at play, so he would not be suited to a family with young children or elderly people.

He also tends to be dominating and, like a dog, needs an owner who is prepared to lay down the law.

Mrs Fowler says Ambrose is full of energy and loves to live life to the full but also enjoys a cuddle. "He is a man of few words but also very friendly."

To adopt Ambrose, or any other animal at the village, contact the SPCA on (09) 256-7300.

Ambrose's village ID is 170101
