My name is Cactus!

Welcome Cactus!

Cactus is a shy boy who made the long journey from Quebec in hopes of finding his forever home. Don’t be fooled by the name, he is anything but prickly!

ABOUT CACTUS:
-At shelter
-Young adult, domestic shorthair, male
-Cactus is famous at the shelter for his chubby cheeks and “toupee”!
-Cactus is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans.
-Cactus prefers a slower approach when getting to know people. He may let out an initial hiss, but he quickly warms up if you sit with him.
-He likes being petted with the back-scratcher on his chin, cheeks, and forehead, but does not enjoy full body pets yet.
-Cactus loves treats! After many taste-tests his favorites are Churu tubes and Temptations, though he’s always prepared to try something new!
-Cactus’s favorite toy to play with is his wand toy.
-Fast movements and loud noises make him nervous. He prefers a gentle approach.
-Cactus is currently enrolled in EHS’s socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help him become more comfortable around people.
-Some skittish cats may remain reserved, while others may express their trust and affection in a variety of ways.
-Cactus is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.

CACTUS’S IDEAL HOME:
-A skittish cat will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children.
-We aren’t sure yet how Cactus would feel about sharing a home with other animals.
-Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Cactus settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Cactus with a successful transition to his forever home.
