Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
From his foster: Meet Compass! Compass is a playful, timid yet curious little man. Compass loves to play. He'll even suspend his fear of people in order to play with the ever-tantalizing string toy.
After 1-2 months in his foster home, Compass has shown great progress (and promise!) towards being comfortable with people. Day by day, he gets a little closer to me or stays a little longer in my presence. He is responsive to my voice. That said, Compass is still very much scared of people. Potential adopters need to know that he is currently not affectionate and nowhere near a "lap cat. With time, Compass could get there, but a future family should not adopt Compass if they are counting on him to become affectionate. His future family needs to be ok with him as is he is today.
While Compass is fearful of people, he loves other cats. He is best friends with Tape, who is also available for adoption. He loves to initiate play and snuggle with her.
Other considerations:
Compass had a rough life before coming to The Bond Between. His future family needs to be patient and allow Compass all the space and time he needs to adjust.
Compass shows fear-based aggression when he feels cornered or a person gets too close. He hisses and feigns scratching (he'll strike with his paw but does not extend his nails). He should not live with young kids. I also feel a home with more than a couple people would not be best for him, given how timid he is and how long it takes him to adjust.
While I believe Compass would adjust to a brand new environment and other cat(s), his friend Tape would struggle on her own. In an ideal world, a future family would want to adopt both Compass and Tape so they can live out their best lives together.
As said earlier, Compass loooves toys. All toys are fun to him. He also loves spending time in cat trees (he favors the very top but will make an exception for a hammock/bowl). He loves looking out the window and tracking birds, bunnies and other passerby.
Compass has been great with the litter box since day 1!

More about this rescue
The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.
We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.
You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
