My story

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

Urban is a dear boy who came to the shelter as a feral in April/May 2024 and it was clear from the start that he was very fearful of humans. He was taken into foster by a shelter volunteer (myself) to see if he could flourish in a home rather than be TNR'd back to the outside. For the first couple of months, he had a bedroom to himself where we would visit with him a few times a day. Little by little, he became more comfortable and hid from us less. Eventually, we let our own 3 cats visit with him at night. It is evident to me that he loves other cats. They were not as enamoured with him, though. He slowly started exploring the rest of the basement and soon made his way upstairs. He has been up with us all ever since. He is still leary of humans (especially when we are walking around), but is now enjoying pets and scratches at treat time. He LOVES treats. He drools for them as well as when he is pet. I believe he will continue to relax and trust the right humans. If our 3 cats returned his love, he would be home now. However, they have not been won over by his charm and sweetness and he deserves to be in a home with a cat or 2 that reciprocate his desire for cuddles. A relatively quiet environment is ideal - probably not with young children as he will be skittish for a while yet. He will require patience, understanding, and love. He deserves all of this and more.
