My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

6 year old Shell’s long journey from Oman left him confused by what he’d experienced prior to arriving to the US for safety. Time fending for himself outdoors there led to him being FIV+. We gave him all the time and patience he needed to gain equilibrium, relearning how to trust those he once feared. Our team’s reassurances paid off big time for this very vocal friend who calls out for attention with warm greetings. Where he once was apprehensive about being near people, he now craves cuddles with visitors. We want the rest of Shell’s life to be worry free and are looking for a calm consistent home with experienced adults, children over 12 years old, and no other pets. Putting Shell in the center of your hearts will make his first real home feel like he was always meant to be there. If you’d like to end his search and begin a beautiful life together, please ask about meeting him today!

When you decide you want to adopt, an associate will help you fill out an application.
