My name is Gardenia!

Gardenia was adopted by a roommate of mine in 2017, concurrently with the adoption of another kitten by a second roommate, Scarlette. Upon both of my roommates leaving a few years later, they decided they no longer wanted to/were able to care for each of their cats, and because I had built up a relationship with both of them, and due to their bonded nature, I agreed to take over care of them. Unfortunately, I've developed debilitating allergies to them both, and can no longer care for them myself.

Gar is very shy, but loves attention once you've earned his trust. He may have been abused prior to his adoption, because he is extremely skittish. However, with age and love he's come out of his shell quite a bit, and loves pets (his fur is very silky and soft). He does need gentle care, however, to coax him out. I spent a lot of time doing that part for you, but he does need adjusting to new things. He has never bitten beyond li'l love bites, but he swipes when scared.

He is not declawed.
