My story

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

A volunteer writes: Poking his little nosey through the condo door, Ben's looking to see what else is out there for him, but when I opened the door, he hopped up to the condo ledge. Peering down at me, he seemed to sigh. I hadn't meant to startle him, but still I may have come on a little too strong. I thought he had been trying to shake noses, but alas, he said with a wink, that hadn't been his nose. In my efforts to earn his friendship, I accepted that it could've been a different cat's nose. I took a seat and told Ben all about my day and I offered some treats as I asked about his. Ben regarded me curiously for a moment and then divulged that the little nosey I had seen earlier was actually his and though he's a bit nervous, he only wants to hope for more. He has love to share, but isn't sure how to tell people that. Ben's curious about toys and loves treats, but pets at the Care Center? He just doesn't know. Ben's hoping to find a patient family who will reassure him that it's ok to want love and family and more than ok to ask for it.
