- Sweet, shy cat that welcomes attention
- Once he gets used to you he will come up to you for pets and will even let you pick him up for a short while - he will walk away a little bit and flop over on his side and roll over onto his back and then back onto his side again
- Is not a snuggly lap cat
- Loud noises are scary to him, so he needs a quiet home
- Will be a wonderful friend for a calm, patient person who loves the quiet life just like he does
- Loves to play with the laser light
- Is not a jumper, as he has trouble getting up on higher surfaces
- Very handsome guy who will need a little time to adjust to his new home; will be a wonderful friend for someone who can give him the time and patience he needs to become comfortable
- Young, noisy or busy children are just too much for him, so he's looking for a mature home that's calm and predictable
- Has done well with other cats
- This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!
