My story

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

Clayton
Male
Dob approx November 2021

Clayton was rescued May 2023 when he had been showing up regularly thru the night at our feeding station. He came in and showed us he had potential as he didn't show any aggression. He was definitely scared but accepted pets even if he didn't like them.

Over the last last year Clay has been living the good life! He is fostered with many kitties and 2 large breed dogs. He gets along with all the kitties of all ages but most enjoys the younger ones that will wrestle and play with him. Clayton is very food motivated and will always join his foster mom on the couch- just within arms reach in hopes to share her evening snacks. He is very polite about it and will take treats from the hand gently. He does NOT enjoy touch and will shy away from being pet. He is very visible in his foster home, coexisting with the dogs even if he hasn't made friends with them. He hangs out from a distance observing and comes quickly for treat time.

Some would say Clayton is not adoptable, why would you post him for adoption if you can't handle him?? We have hesitated for months to post him with hopes he will learn to trust enough to enjoy being pet. We feel he is just as deserving as any other kitty, we just have to find him the right person. He may never be a lap kitty, or he might turn into the biggest snuggler once with his very own people. There is NOTHING more rewarding then winning the love of a semi-feral kitty ❤️

Right now he lives in a home where his foster mom runs a rescue, works fulltime away from the home and cares for double digit animals. Unfortunately he doesn't get focused socializing time. We have faith that there are other loving, crazy cat people, that would welcome and love Clayton for who he is, a beautiful long haired silver tabby. Clayton NEEDS other cats in his furrever home - the more the better as he truly is a cat cat. 😻

Clayton is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. If you'd like to be a part of Clayton's journey and offer him a forever home you can find our application and process on our website.
