Limerick: The Thoughtful Observer
Limerick is a handsome and sensitive 7-month-old who takes his time getting to know new people. Rescued alongside his siblings Elegy, Ballad, and Sonnette, he's come a long way in learning to trust humans. While he can be a bit timid at first, he absolutely melts for neck scritches and head butts once you earn his trust.
You'll often find Limerick perched high, quietly observing the world around him. He's not a fan of being picked up but enjoys gentle interactions on his own terms. Limerick would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can bond with his people-and he'd be thrilled to share his new space with one of his siblings for support.
