Looking to rehome beautiful, wild indoor/outdoor cat

Description

This is very difficult for me to do, but my cat Sammy needs a new home. She is a a very independent, beautiful, wild, occasionally mean hunter of a cat that has become simply too much for my 17-month old son and my special needs cat. She is a very astute hunter that wants to be outside, does not want to share space with another cat, and has not appreciated all of the moving around I have done. I fear she has become depressed now that she is no longer the center of attention. I’m looking for a new owner for her who currently has no other cats, and would let her outside in a safe environment. She seems very unhappy right now, but wasn’t before I moved us away from the Redwoods. She never seemed to forgive me for that. If you are gentle and patient with her, she can be very sweet, and does like to occasionally sleep in bed with you, and likes to be pet occasionally in specific ways, but never on her belly. She will bite and claw if you try to pet her belly. She is extremely happy when she is allowed outside most of the time. She does not like children or strangers. I’m worried that the owner before me didn’t treat her well. I want to keep her, but my special needs cat with only one eye is so sweet and unassuming that she puts herself a risk with her. She’s not even 10 years old yet, and she’s healthy and strong, so I foresee her living for potentially another ten years. A strong, patient, independent, sympathetic owner could really have a great time with this cat. She loves to play and be frisky, but she really needs her space and freedom. This is really hard for me to do. I love her. I wish I could keep her, but I think she would be much, much happier as a single cat in a permanent indoor/outdoor situation. I would expect for her to hide and be afraid for up to a week before warming up to you. Her diet is simple, in that she prefers only dry food, besides what she hunts. Please message me with your info and why you think Sammy would be a good fit for you. It’s very important that I find a loving and tolerant home for her, where she can once again feel like the center of attention. :(
