My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Gary was brought in by his previous owner on November 9, 2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Say hello to Gary - official heartthrob and all-around mysterious gentleman. With a face that could land him on the cover of Cat Fancy (if he'd agree to sit still for a photo), Gary prefers a quiet life of observation and the occasional dignified interaction. He's the strong, silent type - emphasis on the silent, especially when things get loud or unpredictable. Reserved, quiet, and calm, Gary is still learning how to "cat" in the company of humans and will need plenty of time and space to settle in and feel at home. He must go to a home that already has another cat - a confident, social feline friend who can be his emotional support buddy, helping him feel secure and show him the ropes. Gary isn't exactly a "pick-me-up-and-cuddle" kind of guy - he prefers to keep all four paws on the ground and accept affection strictly on his own terms. Once he decides you're worthy, though, those moments of trust are pure gold. A patient adopter who understands that progress will happen on Gary's timeline is key - with some early help from a cozy, confined space to get his bearings. He's not one for brushing (he says it messes up the vibe), and he definitely prefers top-loading carriers for any necessary travel - because spa days and spontaneous vet trips are not his idea of fun. Gary would thrive in a calm, chaos-free home where peace and routine reign supreme. Bonus points if the household is free of rowdy dogs and the unpredictable energy of young kids. He's all about quiet vibes, slow introductions, and building trust one whisker twitch at a time.
