My story

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

Mellow lives up to his name - he’s a soft-hearted, gentle boy who just wants a calm, loving place to call home. He’s still learning to trust the world around him, but with a little patience, his sweetness shines right through.

This handsome guy has a few favorite routines: starting his day with wet food (he’ll patiently wait by your side for breakfast!) and chatting to let you know when he’d like a little attention. His quiet, endearing meows are his way of saying, “I want to be next to you!”

Mellow feels safest when his person stays close during mealtime, especially in those first few days as he settles in. Offering him treats and speaking softly will help win his trust - and once you do, you’ll discover just how loving he truly is.

He enjoys gentle pets, calm companionship, and playtime with his beloved laser pointer - he could chase that red dot for hours! Mellow is a kind soul who will blossom with a patient adopter willing to give him the time and security he needs to feel at home.

If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal companion who will reward your patience with endless love, Mellow might just be your perfect match.

If you are interested in adopting Mellow, please send an email to cananecekoltak@gmail.com to arrange an initial virtual meet & greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
