My story

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

 



Come on over and say "Hey there" to Baby Boy! A cat who easily personifies his name, Baby Boy is a highly energetic and affectionate kitty who is hoping to get out of the shelter so he can actually show you that -- he is very shy and scared being in such a weird and unknown place. His previous owner found him as a kitten, loitering in their driveway, and took him in for eight glorious years until they needed to surrender him due a change at home. Baby Boy did well living with other cats in that home, so his ideal home is a quiet adult-only place where he can either regain his confidence as your only pet or join some other social and friendly felines willing to help him through the next part of his journey through life! Baby Boy will definitely need some time and patience with his new family once he gets home, especially considering he was never a big fan of strangers, so until you aren't that to him he might be a bit weary -- but one you aren't a stranger he has a habit of being highly loyal and loving to his family!

During PAWS' "Cold Noses & Warm Hearts" Adoption Promotion running through 12/24, adopters can name their adoption fee for any cat over 6 months old or dog over 40lbs.
