What my friends at ACC say about me:Kit Kat was laying on top of the Karina bed with very large pupils staring out. He sniff treats, but didn't eat them allowed approach and allowed, gentle petting seemingly appreciating it while remaining a bit tense and pulling back Somewhat. At times, he appeared as if he wanted to come down off the bed, but he couldn't quite do it and remained in place, he's a sweet cat who needs a little more time. Kit Kat interacts with the observer, solicits & appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience or demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior. A volunteer writes: I am truly quite fond of Kit Kat... he rested peacefully on a shelf in his kennel and didn't seem to have too much interest in me when I opened the door. I spoke softly to him for a few minutes and then stretched my hand out. He seemed to soften after a few seconds of petting but still remained on his shelf. I think he liked the pets I had to offer because I think he leaned into them a bit and gently closed his eyes. I think Kit Kat needs a patient adopter that knows he is not the cat that will run into your arms the first second he meets you. He needs someone who will go slow and let him know that it is ok to trust. He is truly a sweet and gentle boy. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Ginger Tabby Weight: 13.4 Age: 2yrs 10mths 4wks

What my friends at ACC say about me:I lived with children in my previous home.I have lived with cats in my previous home.I have potential behavior challenges that staff will address with you when you meet me.I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am.I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.
