Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Forest has an interesting backstory. He was rescued by one of our volunteers on Earth Day at a school on Forest Street in Hartford. The students, while working to save the Earth, instead saved a life. Curious and friendly, Forest made friends with the students, who shared their lunches with him while trying to coax him into a box. Noticing a wound, the volunteer called the office until arrangements were made to pick him up. Forest was then quarantined in two different foster homes for six months to make sure that he was healthy. During this time, he doubled in size since he was no longer a stray kitty and was eating healthy food! Now he has finally made it to the shelter, ready to find a forever home. He’s understandably wary because of all of the changes he’s been through, but he seeks attention and loves to have his head scratched. He will adorably “scoot” up on his back to give you a good angle for a belly rub. He’s curious, a little mischievious, and cute as a button! Forest would probably be best in a house with a patient human who is willing to work with him to bring out the amazing kitty that greeted everyone on Earth Day. If you are that special person who is willing to love our Forest unconditionally, come and meet him at the shelter soon!
