My story

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

Hi, I'm Ozzie! I'm a young adult cat looking for a quiet place to call home. I have been very stressed at the shelter (can you really blame me with all of those loud dogs?), so I haven't been feeling up to showing off my true personality. However, after some soft spoken words of encouragement and slow blinks, I am happy to accept pets to my head and face and will visibly start to relax and purr softly. I just might need a little more time and understanding while I settle into a new home. I lived with other cats in my previous home, and would really appreciate having a new feline companion in the next one. I enjoy catnip, and love to play with my stuffed mice during the quiet moments at the shelter.

My foster says "While Ozzie is still unsure around people and tends to get easily scared, he has come out of his shell and is a playful, funny, and sweet little guy, He loves to curl up on you towards the end of the evening and take a nice long nap. He also like curling up next to you at night in bed after he was worn himself out from his night time playing session. He will roll over to ask for chin scratches and loves to be scratched on his face. He is an outgoing dude with loads of energy just needs a home who is willing to give him time and patience"

My foster says "Ozzie is a sweet little dude who would love a quiet place to call home. He loves playing with toys especially interactive wands and would enjoy all the scratching posts and boards as he loves scratching on everything. He is very shy and can get scared quite easily. He has not shown any aggression while in my care, but when he does get scared, he tends to shut down and hide. Ozzie would be best in a home where he would be able to have his own space but most importantly time to adjust and get to know his household."
