My story

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

(TL;DR - Skittish/shy/anxious but very sweet and cuddly!)

Miro is a very shy and cautious kitty. Having grown up in a difficult situation, he's a little weary of humans but tends to warm up when allowed the time to do so. Miro is the last of his litter to begin warming up and therefore he's also going to need a quiet, understanding, and steady home to reinforce those positive human interactions.

When he's relaxed and more confident, Miro likes to talk and cuddle. He's a lap cat who enjoys giving little love nips and purring his heart out. He enjoys treats, back & neck scratches, and adores playing with his toys and other kitties. He's very curious and tends to approach people when he's ready to be given attention. Miro is excellent at using the litter box but isn't too fond of being picked up for an extended period of time.

Miro appears happiest living with other cats and does not seem to want to be an only cat.

The ideal home for Miro will have at least one other cat, be child-free and calm. A low-energy household with patient humans who are willing to give him time to adjust while reinforcing positive human interactions is the best-case scenario for ensuring Miro comes fully out of his shell.
