Story
Behavior & Temperament: Soju is a shy, sensitive boy who’s still learning to trust people. He can be nervous in new situations, but once he feels secure, he enjoys observing and interacting at his own pace. His gentle nature shines through as he grows more comfortable. Animal Interactions: • Cats: Soju does very well with other cats and loves to play once he’s settled. He gains confidence from being around friendly, social cats and often engages in gentle play sessions with them. • Dogs: Not yet tested. Likely to do best in a home without dogs or with calm, quiet ones only. Foster Notes: In foster care, Soju has shown steady progress with patience and routine. He finds reassurance in the presence of other cats and tends to open up more when surrounded by feline friends. Soft voices and slow movements help him feel secure. Special Notes: • Shy and easily startled • Benefits greatly from confident cat companions • Best suited for a calm, predictable home • Playful once settled and comfortable

Behavior & Temperament: Lio is a sweet adult boy with a big love for snacks and playtime. He’s affectionate and enjoys interactive toys, especially anything involving treats. Lio thrives in a calm, predictable environment where he can enjoy his routines and indulgences. Animal Interactions: • Cats: Lio does well with other older, calm cats. He is not recommended for homes with high-energy cats or kittens, as he prefers a more relaxed pace. • Dogs: Lio is generally okay with dogs but will require a slow, supervised introduction to ensure comfort and safety. Foster Notes: Lio enjoys his human companions and responds well to gentle handling. He shows curiosity and playfulness during treat or toy sessions, but also appreciates quiet downtime. A patient household that respects his need for routine and gentle socialization will help him thrive. Special Notes: • Adult male; foodie and playful • Best with calm, older cats • Not recommended for high-energy homes or kittens • Slow introduction required for dogs • Loves snacks, playtime, and gentle attention
