Sid is a shy and timid cat who spends most of his day in his box but loves lounging on his scratch board. Treats help him relax and reduce his shyness, though he's still not easily approachable. He's well-behaved with litter box use and has no issues in that regard. Sid would be a great match for someone who enjoys having a pet around without needing constant interaction or attention. He may take some time to adapt to a new environment, but as he settles in, Sid will start to show his playful side and curiosity, making him a delightful, low-maintenance companion.

Sid is a cat in a box, her safety nest, her imaginary bubble where she can exist away from everything and everyone that does not belong to the world she used to live in. Sid's owner unfortunately passed away with no next of kin able to take her in. She was, we were told, very attached to her and quite shy with occasional visitors. Sid often gives a little hiss when I open her cubby's door. I am not the one she was hoping for...She will very slowly sample the crab treats I lay in front of her and then comply with my petting, sometimes leaning against my hand. She might at times, blink at the sound of my voice. We all feel for Sid and all the seniors who grew over the years so attached and dependent on the care and mostly the love of one single owner. Still, there is always a place for hope. I remember from the past, a rescue group called "Bruised but not Broken". I think it could apply to our Sid. Her lucky star might shine again and guide a wonderful person, fond of seniors to meet Sid at the Manhattan Care Center.
What my friends at ACC say about me:
I am looking for a home with a patient person.
I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.
I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
