My story

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

Meet Goku, a handsome stray-turned-sweetheart who’s ready to start his next chapter! When Goku first arrived, he was nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. With time, patience, and gentle encouragement, he’s shown his true colors—now he pops out to greet visitors and enjoys the company of people he trusts. In his new home, Goku will need a little time to settle in. Goku is very food-motivated, and his guilty pleasure is turkey snacks! He prefers canned food and is happiest when fed 6 ounces twice a day to keep his tummy full and his spirits bright. Since we don’t know if he has experience with other animals, a home where he can be introduced slowly—or one where he can be your one-and-only—would be best. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive boy who will blossom with patience and love, Goku might be your perfect match. Come meet him and help this once-nervous kitty continue his journey into confidence and comfort!

Goku has a mild medical issue that causes him to wobble when he walks. It does not require any treatment, but he cannot do high jumps or steep stairs and will need a low-sided litterbox. Ask staff if you are interested in learning more about Goku!

Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully.
