HISTORY: Hummer was 8 weeks old when his rescuer saw kids beating him with a wooden stick on the streets of Egypt. They were trying to kill him. The lady who witnessed this pulled the kids away, immediately grabbed Hummer and took him home. She contacted a rescue group who agreed to take him.

When he arrived at the foster, he was starving and scared. The foster noticed right away that he was jerky in his movements. It was concluded that this was the result of the beating.

As time has passed and as Hummer has moved into adulthood, the jerkiness has subsided for the most part. It still shows up, mildly, especially when he is excited or happy to interact and chat with you.

It was also discovered that he is deaf. For this reason, it is best to approach him from the front so he can see you and know you are coming towards him.

This also helps to give Hummer a point of focus which stops any jerkiness. When he is focused, like chasing a ball for example or when he is relaxed on your lap, the jerkiness is completely gone.

Other than the jerkiness and the deafness, Hummer is 100% healthy. There are no long term issues as a result of his past trauma.

Hummer has put his past life exactly where it belongs; in the past. He is so ready for a home that is as special as he is.

PERSONALITY: Named for the purr machine that he is, Hummer’s foster Mom says he is, “the most happy, content and delightful little guy. He is truly special.”
Though he is a little cautious at first, once he knows he is safe with you, he will shower you with affection and be the most devoted lap cat. He loves to sit on your chest and snuggle up to your neck for kisses and hugs.

This handsome lad simply adores humans. Nothing excites him more than being with his human. Hummer is only too happy to engage his human in play, chat or just hanging out watching Netflix together.

Hummer loves batting at the ball in the circle toy (as you can see in the video). This athletic hunk also loves climbing up the cat tree. Strong and still having kitten energy (typical of a Mau), Hummer can go from 0 to 100 in a flash. :)
When he is in relax mode, he enjoys looking out at the birds and squirrels checking out the latest episode of Nature TV.

Hummer is fine with children 10+ as long as they are calm and respectful (i.e. no pulling his tail or picking him up against his will) and mature enough to be sensitive and aware to Hummer’s being deaf.

He is also fine with other cats but doesn’t really interact with them. Humans are his jam. :)

IDEAL HOME ENVIRONMENT: The sweet Soul is best suited to a calm, quiet and stable home where he can give and get love from his human and never have to fear being harmed again.
