Hi, I'm Croquette!
I might seem shy at first, but once I'm comfortable, I'm a total sweetheart. I love mealtime, getting pets, and being close to my favorite humans. I'll follow you around like a little shadow, though I prefer to approach you on my own terms.
I get along well with other cats and enjoy being near my person. Whether you're working or watching TV, I'll happily sit beside you-and if you let me, I'd love to snuggle up next to you at bedtime.
I'm gentle and never scratch or bite, but I do like to nibble on fingers sometimes, so I'd do best with someone who understands cat body language and is patient with my playful quirks.
I'm looking for a loving home where I can feel safe and cherished. I hope that can be you!
What my friends at ACC say about me:
I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.
I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.
A volunteer writes: Shy, quiet Croquette is a young boy who seems bewildered by his new surroundings in the cat adoption room and unsure of how to move forward. This gray tabby with the gentle eyes came from a home situation with several other cats, so his slow adjustment to the Care Center is totally understandable. Since he's been with us, Croquette is showing more comfort and curiosity: he'll poke his head out of his hidey box and allow staffers to treat him to gentle pettings. But he's still stressed by the sudden change in his life, and we keep whispering to him softly that we'll do all we can to find him a real forever home with pet parents who understand that some cats need a go-slow approach. Could that pet parent be you? Croquette is waiting patiently to get to know you on 110th Street today.
