My story

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

My foster writes:
Manhattan (often called Manny) is a sleek black adult cat. Coming from a home with many cats, he was not properly socialized, but he is working hard on his people skills in his foster home. Despite his fears, he has never been aggressive in foster (any hisses are just for show). He is very shy and tends to hide in his den when people are around. Manny is food motivated and has been making strides in his socialization with the help of yummy foods. He loves toys, and is particularly fond of crinkly catnip-laced toys (which have a short lifespan around Manny). While Manhattan may never be a lap cat, he will eventually blossom into a sweet companion and would likely do well with any resident cats.

What my friends at ACC say about me:

My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!

I have lived with cats.

I'm an independent kitty who likes to do my own thing.

I am looking for a home with a patient person.

I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.

I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.

I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.
