Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🐱 Husker #31789 – Sensitive Soul Seeking a Calm, Understanding Home ✨
Meet Husker, a handsome stray boy who’s looking for a very special adopter — someone patient, observant, and experienced with cat body language. 🧡 This sweet guy has had a stressful start, and he’s learning that people can be safe… but he needs time, space, and kindness to come out of his shell.
When Husker first arrived, he was overwhelmed and very vocal — lots of fearful yowls as he tried to understand his new surroundings. He hid under furniture, climbed high to feel safe, and searched for an escape route. But once given quiet time, he settled into a cozy cubby and began to relax. 💛
With slow blinks and a gentle approach, Husker showed his true softness: he leaned in for chin scritches and ear massages, sniffed fingers with curiosity, and even shifted closer from inside his cubby to stay near the person comforting him. 🫶 Though he may hiss or yowl when approached, it’s all fear — never aggression. What he needs most is reassurance and someone who will listen to his communication.
Once he feels safe, Husker has so much potential to bond deeply with “his person.” If you’re the patient, gentle soul he’s been waiting for, Husker is ready to start his healing journey with you. 💕
