Trying to find a home for my boy

Sandy UT

Description

16 pound short hair black cat, male. My daughter dumped him on me when she moved to Hawaii and while he and I have become good buddies, I can't keep him. He is a pure alpha male although neutered who cannot be around other animals. He has already attacked two of my other cats with clear intent to kill them, not to dominate them. He is affectionate to the extreme but unfortunately when close to my head or face will attack me without provocation every month or so, so he cannot be allowed close to anyone's head or face. I would never have him around children. My guess is that he is such a high intensity alpha male that his life of living in small bedrooms/apartments with my daughter has caused this extreme behavior on his part since he cannot release his pent up energy. I am able to get him out of his bedroom he lives in with me for a few hours a day at most, but only then into the rest of the house when I have my other boys safely in a closed room and my intention of rehabbing him just isn't working and I fear I am just making him worse. He is a good cat, he really is, he just needs space and I can't give it to him and my daughter would rather frolick on the beaches of hawaii than care for her boy, so this ad is a desperate attempt to find a suitable home for him before I give up and put him down. I just can't keep torturing him psychologically anymore, living in a bedroom 20 hours a day when all he needs is space. He is meant to be an outside cat but should not be released in a city/suburban area because of what he is capable of doing to other cats he would encounter, so either an only cat in a full house or a rural outdoor cat. He would be the best rodent control imaginable. I am more than happy to take care of any and all veterinary care and food for as long as needed, the rest of his life if a suitable home can be found. Preference would be to bring him to the local ER veterinary hospital where I work but that is not necessary as any home that is suitable and can accommodate him is the first priority, locality is not. If you made it this far into the ad, thank you for reading and please reach out if you think you or anyone you know can take him in. He's an awesome cat, I need to find him a home but cannot continue to harm him psychologically as he needs space and I fear he is only getting worse living with me.
