More about Buddy:

I am a sweet, loving guy! I will make a lovely companion for the right adopter. I am looking for someone patient, understanding of my history, committed to me being the only pet in the home, able to follow a strict plan for a slow introduction to the home, and to do some sleuthing to determine my litter box preferences.

I will need a slow introduction to my new home. I will need to start out in a single room with multiple litter box options (covered vs. uncovered, different litter options including a pee pad option with a small amount of litter). Often low-sided, larger boxes with a soft litter such as grass seed is preferred, so this is a good starting place. My adopter should be prepared to do some experimenting to determine my preference and to ensure my boxes remain tidy consistently. Once my preference is determined and I have acclimated to my new environment and caretaker/s, I can be slowly introduced to more of the house, gaining access to only one room at a time with the use of baby gates, etc., to restrict access. I should have my preferred litter box option in multiple locations throughout the house.

A quiet, low-traffic, low-stress environment is the most likely situation for me to succeed, but I might still struggle at times. An owned home versus an apartment would be best due to the potential of accidents.

Staff is available to answer any questions should my adopter need to reach out to help me adjust in my new home!

The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 3:00 pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Compatibility:
Cats: No thank you!
Dogs: No thank you!
Kids: Older, respectful of the needs of the cat, generally on the quiet side
