Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Carl, a gentle soul with a tender heart who is going to need a little extra time and patience to feel safe. He is very scared right now and will take a while to truly come around to his people—but underneath that fear is a sweet, affectionate boy with so much potential. Carl isn’t combative or reactive; when he’s unsure, he prefers to quietly retreat and observe. With consistency, kindness, and a calm presence, he will slowly begin to build trust, and those small moments of progress will mean everything.
Carl will thrive in a quiet, predictable home where he can decompress at his own pace. He should start in a smaller space with all his essentials and a cozy hiding spot, giving him the security he needs while he adjusts. A home with older kids would be best, and he may do well with a gentle cat friend (with slow introductions) or possibly a calm, cat-savvy dog who will respect his boundaries. For the right family—one that understands that love sometimes takes time—Carl has all the makings of a deeply devoted and rewarding companion.
