My name is Ares!

What my friends at ACC say about me:

I have potential behavior challenges that staff will address with you when you meet me.

I am looking for a home with a patient person.

I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.

Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

I would do best in a home with only adult humans.

I have lived with cats at ACC and I'm doing well with them in the Free Roaming Room, so I would likely do well in a multi-cat home.

A volunteer writes: Ares likes to manage projects. That he manages his projects with varying degrees of success is inconsequential because it's the projects themselves that bring him joy and a sense of purpose. I'm hesitant to speak for Ares and say he's looking to improve but I think it's fair to say that he's looking for more, which is where you come in. When Ares was brought to us in November, we were told he likes to stay busy. His entrance to shelter life has been effortful, as new things sometimes are, but Ares is finding his stride and it shows in his progress. Greeting me at the front of his cubby with cheeks proudly puffed and a playful stance, Ares looked to me for, you guessed it, a project. We cuddled and played and Ares stayed focused on the game until he heard something out in the hallway. Tucking his head into my hand, Ares was content to stretch himself out as he explained that all the projects aside, what he's really been looking for is a chance.
