My name is Carl!

What my friends at ACC say about me:

My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!

I am looking for a home with a patient person.

I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace in a single pet home

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

Carl tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.

My foster writes: Carl is the sweetest older gentleman. He can be shy at first but once he warms up, he will become your shadow. He loves attention whether it's being scratched or just sitting by you - he loves to be around people. His favorite thing is to bask in the sun and lay by the window all day. He is very talkative - he will let you know when he's hungry for dinner and a midnight snack or if he just wants some extra attention. He is still learning how to play with toys - right now he is obsessed with string but he still very curious about his other toys. He can be a bit skittish of loud noises and hides when new people come over but with time he will warm up to everyone. Give this guy some time & TLC and he's just the silliest goofball.

A volunteer writes: It's nearly impossible to see each glittering side of a cat in the shelter. Sometimes it's hard to catch even one, though it's certainly not for lack of trying for their sparkle to shine. I always try to introduce myself to Carl, but can't say I know him as well as I'd like. Please allow me though, to share what I do. I opened Carl's condo door and he quickly took a step back, thus letting me know he wasn't really up for having visitors. I can understand this, especially knowing that Carl was brought to us because his person passed away. Carl's found himself here, hopeful and alone, where he tries heartbreakingly hard to blend in and not make too many waves. I love Carl to pieces and know he will shine when he finds that special someone who will give him a chance to open up on his own time and with his own spirit.
