Rabbi and Mr. Hankey (Cat)
Sinead O’Connor has two cats named Rabbi and Mr. Hankey. Rabbi is pictured here. In August 2015, O’Connor shared that she sadly was looking to find new homes for both cats due to her having to move from her countryside home to a rental in the city, with only two weeks notice, to accommodate her son’s medical issues.
My son’s medical condition necessitates we move house in the next fortnight. My beloved cat, Rabbi can’t come as we are renting and animals are not allowed. Besides which we will be in the city centre and she’d be dead if she escaped. She is a very nervous little creature (she’s the runt) and likes a lot of snuggling and attention. Ahe would be best suited to someone who is literally mental when it comes to spoiling cats and loving them up. Perhaps a young child or a very old person. Pls share . This animal is very special to me and is my heart. So someone very special is all who can have her… This other cat of mine, Mr Hankey also needs homing due to our house move. He is the brother of Rabbi but not at all nervous. In fact the opposite. Very caring and compassionate , protective and independent. Likes a good snuggle maybe twice a week. Rest of the time he’s jus’ cruisin’ around checkin’ out the ladies… He’s neutered though. (So is Rabbi) so worry not. But he does eat like a hog.
