Meet Bovine! This little catlike, dust-fluff, semi-cow creature came to TCR with his siblings several months ago, and man was he not impressed by us. He's really perfected the art of projecting his attitude across the room with a single "look".
After several months in foster, Bovine can't help but like us just a little. He's a silly goofball who is 99% talk - he still hisses and pretends that he doesn't want affection... but then we see him giving butt raises and even leaning in for pets. He EVEN purrs for us now.
Bovine will need a family who can be patient with him at first and help him continue to learn that humans aren't so bad. He has never been aggressive with us but will avoid you if he's not sure about you. He can be pretty easily bribed with one of this favorite things - FOOD - so that is a good time to reinforce that pets are also great. Bovine gets along great with other cats and would thrive best in a home with another kitty pal... although he can be a bit of a turd when it comes to trying to steal everyone else's food dish. We think he could do OK with older, respectful kiddos, although young or very loud kids might be a bit much for him. We think he has so much potential, and he is just looking for the right family to help him get the rest of the way there!
Bovine is a little over a year old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. He has a very long and floofy coat which is currently trimmed down to prevent him from getting matted. His future adopter will have to be amenable to keeping up with regular brushings once he learns to tolerate that! Please apply to adopt this sweet and beautiful boy, today!

Additional adoption info
We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.
Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
