Louise arrived at ACC after being found near a hotel, unsure, stressed, and trying hard to protect himself in a scary new environment. While his first instinct is to hiss or swat when startled, Louise has shown us another side too - one that leans in for chin rubs, slow-blinks softly, and even rolls onto his side when he feels safe. He's smart, observant, and full of potential for someone who understands cats like him.
My Ideal Home
Louise needs an experienced adopter who can give him patience, structure, and a calm space to decompress. He does best when given time to assess his surroundings and choose interaction at his own pace. A low-traffic home where he isn't overwhelmed will help him feel secure and allow his affectionate side to shine.
Good with Kids?
No - Louise is recommended for adult-only homes due to overstimulation, fear reactions, and the need for careful, consistent handling.
Good with Other Pets?
His history with other animals is unknown. Given his sensitivity to sudden changes and overstimulation, a home where he is the only pet - at least initially - may be the best fit.
Overall Health
Healthy overall. Louise was treated for some sticky material on his coat upon arrival but is otherwise in good condition.
Behavior Determination
Experienced Adopters Only - Level 3. Louise can be affectionate and social, but he becomes reactive when frightened or overstimulated. Slow approaches, predictable routines, and respect for his boundaries are key to helping him succeed.
Other Fun Facts
Louise is a surprising mix of bold and bashful - he may greet you with chirps one moment and dive into his activity mat the next. He loves treats, toys, and cheek scratches once he trusts you. With time and understanding, he'll reward his person with loyal companionship and lots of personality.
