Brief Bio Murphy is 6-month old male gray kitten. He is looking for a forever home with a patient, loving adopter. He`s been in foster for 4-5 weeks to work on his people skills. You`ll notice he has an ear tip, as we weren`t sure if he`d warm up to new people. He`s still working on his confidence but he`s come a long way! He`s eating Hills Science Diet dry food and gets wet food as an occassional treat. He`s a litter box champ!
Summary of Personality Murphy aka `Boeing` is a quite shy boy. He earned the nickname `Boeing` because his initial response is lay his ears out flat like airplane wings. The foster still gets an occassional hiss when Murphy is feeling unsure. But it`s all for show. The foster can still pet and encourage Murphy without no issues. Murphy does like to play with toys that he can n bat around and chase. He`s still deciding if he likes wand toys or not; right now he backs away from them. You can pick Murphy up if needed, but it`s not his favorite thing. Murphy will need a very patient adopter who understands shy kittens and is willing to meet him where he is and allow him to get comfortable and confident in his new surrounding.
Home Life (experience with kids & other pets, etc) Murphy has only been around another kitten that came in with him. Murphy would do best as an only cat or being adopted with Stubby and Patches. He was not comfortable when the resident cat would try to sneak in the house. Murphy would also do better in a home with adults only. He would most likely do well with older children with proper slow introductions using calming voices initially. Won`t you give Murphy a chance to show you what a great cat he can be?
Is your foster litter box trained? Yes
