My story

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

Hello, I'm Theo! I'm a shy but affectionate cat looking for a friend who understands me. I've been a little stressed since arriving at the shelter (it can be a pretty scary place for a cat), so I've been a little slow to open up and show off my true personality-- however, I do enjoy wet food treats and gentle pets. I would probably prefer a household that is pretty quiet and doesn't have too much hustle and bustle. I did live with another cat previously (Luna), and may adjust to new feline friends after a slow introduction.

My foster says "Theo is a very sweet and affectionate cat. Starting off, the first week or so, he was very shy and timid and hid under the bed. He would come up to me when I would show him his wet food, but wouldn't come out from under the bed. Gradually, Theo came out and started to explore the room. Theo is still shy around new people and typically comes out when I am in the room with the door shut. He loves to come visit me when I get home with a few meows and then jumps on my bed purring and wanting pets. Theo has been eating, and using his litter box, and he loves wet food, catnip, and certain toys."
