My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Special person or persons sought to adopt big, beautiful marshmallow of a very shy kitty. Fred was turned in by a former owner who threatened dire consequences to this lovely guy if the shelter did not take him. In spite of his large size, Fred is terribly, terribly timid. He has not taken to the shelter environment at all, and resides in a staff member’s office, where he has slowly come out of his shell a little bit, particularly when it is quiet and noises are minimal. He will require someone who loves gigantic, fluffy cats with gentle personalities. This someone will be very patient and loving, and will totally give Fred a tiny space of his own for as long as he needs it. And he will emerge from his hidey-holes, as was proven recently when one of the shelter’s special foster moms took him home for a few days. She reported that he hid for a day, then came out and followed her from place to place. Fred has lived with other cats before, and possibly will be able to do that again, but his home must first radiate calm and quiet. Patience. Kindness. These two attributes are key to Fred’s success and we know there is someone out there just for Fred. Please come by and make an appointment to see him. He is a staff favorite, and we want the very best for him. He deserves it, and he will give back with his large, sweet heart, a hundred times over, once he trusts and understands that he is totally wanted and will be loved, forever.
