My story

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

I have lived with cats.


I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.


I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you.


I am looking for a home with a patient person.


I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some feline body language together!


I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.



Raven tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.



Hi, my name is Raven and the shelter has been a little overwhelming for me. I came from a home with many cats, who I've gotten along with well. Because I've lived in this home my entire life and have only been around one person, I have little experience with people and am hesitant of new experiences. I would enjoy living in a quiet home, preferably one with lots of vertical space so I have a place to perch and observe the room. I would also appreciate having experienced, patient adopter(s) who are willing to take things slow with me. I would benefit from socialization, using rewards whenever I make a small positive step like making eye contact, allowing petting, or sniffing your hand. I'd prefer to take things at my own pace, and would appreciate some good old fashion TLC. Some things I do enjoy here are when it's low-traffic and quiet. If you can open your heart to adopt a cat like me, I'll hopefully have the confidence to come around to my new people, like you!
