Hello! My name is Mufasa. I am a very sweet gentleman, with a little bit of a playful side, at times. When I first came to the shelter, I was very very scared and very nervous around everyone. I wasn't sure I could trust these humans. As I've come to know and trust some of the people that take care of me, I've learned that some humans aren't as scary, after all. My ideal home would be with someone who is willing to work with me and allow me my space to come to them when I'm ready. I also have had some cat friends in my office to help me come out of my shell, so I'd love to have a friend to keep me company! I still get a little nervous and scared sometimes, so go slow with me. My favorite humans would say that I love chin scratches, head and neck scratches and forehead kisses! That makes me so happy, that I purr real loud and make the best air biscuits! Oh, and I love being hand fed treats like the king that I am! Come on down and see me today!
