My story

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

My Foster writes:
Chica is a sweet older gentleman looking for a home where he can get all of the love and forehead kisses! He will warm up quickly to you (and warm your heart!). He's a big boy that loves pets, playtime, and being a big couch potato.

What my friends at ACC say about me:

I am a sweet, social, older gentleman, looking for the perfect forever home!

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

Chica appreciates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior. Chica may be intimidated by small children, any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.

Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!
