Otis came to ACC after his owner sadly passed away, and he's been adjusting to all the sudden changes in his world. Despite feeling unsure, he's shown a gentle, tolerant nature - allowing handling, leaning in for pets once he feels safe, and slowly exploring his surroundings. Otis is a sensitive, soft-spoken cat who just needs a quiet moment and a calm presence to let his sweetness show.
My foster writes: Otis is very friendly once familiar with the person. He is very talkative and active cat! He love to follow people around. He is suitable in a home that someone can be with him for long extended periods of time and a lot of playtime and stimulation.
My Ideal Home
Otis will thrive in a patient, cat-experienced home where introductions are slow and predictable. He may start out timid, but with consistency and gentle encouragement, he warms up and accepts affection beautifully. Offering him cozy hiding spots and time to decompress will help him settle into a new routine and feel secure.
Good with Kids?
Older, respectful children may be okay, but Otis is easily startled and would do best in a calm home. Young children may overwhelm him.
Good with Other Pets?
His history with other pets is unknown. Based on his shy, gentle nature, he may do best as the only cat or with a calm, well-mannered feline companion introduced very slowly.
Overall Health
Otis is generally healthy. He is being treated for ear mites and has a healed corneal scar in one eye that does not require intervention. Otherwise, he is stable and doing well in care.
Behavior Determination
Experienced Adopters Preferred - Level 2. Otis tolerates petting and handling but is nervous with sudden movements and will need time to build trust. Adopters should be comfortable supporting a shy cat during his adjustment period.
Other Fun Facts
Otis has a quiet, observant personality and enjoys gentle head rubs once he feels safe. He gives little "thank you tail lifts" as he warms up, and his sweet, thoughtful nature shines through during calm one-on-one interactions. With patience, he'll become a loyal, comforting presence in his new home.
