Meet Alvin.
Alvin is a gentle soul who’s having a very hard time in the shelter. He spends most of his days hiding, overwhelmed by the noise and constant change—but behind that fear is a cat who desperately wants to feel safe. You can see it in the way he quietly watches, hoping for someone patient enough to give him a chance.
Alvin needs a calm home and a family with extraordinary patience—people who will let him move at his own pace and celebrate every small step he takes. He won’t be an instant lap cat, but the trust he’ll eventually place in you will be one of the most meaningful bonds you’ll ever build.
If your heart has room for a cat who needs understanding more than anything, Alvin is waiting for you. He’s not asking for much—just safety, kindness, and someone who believes in him.
