Timmy the ‘vampire’ cat doesn’t want to suck your blood – honestly

Most black rescue cats looking to be rehomed with loving owners have a few prejudices to overcome.

High on the list are the myths and superstitions about black cats bringing bad luck and being agents of evil.

And there’s the thoroughly modern handicap that people don’t want them because of the perception that they don’t look good in social media pictures.

Rescue cat Timmy had suffered all of these slings and arrows – and had the added misfortune of looking like he was at any minute about to leap at you, tear out your throat, and suck your blood.

People coming to look for a rescue cat at the Blue Cross rehoming centre in Lewknor, Oxon, were put off by Timmy’s Dracula fangs.

But Ann Drummond, Timmy’s new owner, said that as soon as she saw him it was like a stake through her heart.

She said: ‘We saw him on the Blue Cross website and thought he looked and sounded great.

His fangs didn’t put us off at all – he’s the sweetest, friendliest cat.

‘Our previous cat had one fang so he reminded us of her. Timmy’s such a character and we love him to bits.’

Lisa Kent, animal welfare assistant at Blue Cross, said: ‘Despite the similarity to the vampire villain, Timmy is a friendly chap and we’re delighted that he has become part of a family again.’

That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t happily sink his fangs into an unsuspecting mouse or bird if one came under his spell.

Blah! Timmy may look like an agent of evil – but he’s actually quite a friendly chap.
