My story

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

- Social and inquisitive



- Loves Churu and food in general, so that would be a great way to bond with him



- Can be nervous with quick movements and being picked up, and is looking for a patient person who will give him time and space to settle in



- Has lived with other cats and has done well with them



- Needs uncovered, extra-large litterboxes with unscented litter and no litter pan liners



This cat came from a situation where they did not get the socialization that house cats typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may be fearful in new situations and when meeting new people, may need help getting used to a carrier, and may never enjoy being picked up and held. Since this cat has lived with other cats, they may benefit from having another cat friend to help them build confidence and show them the ropes. You can find more info here about cats from hoarding situations and how to work with them to set them up for success.



All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
