My story

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

dob 10/1/25

Baby Bear was part of a TNR (trap/neuter/return) project. That's why he has a tipped ear, the universal sign that a cat was trapped, spayed/neutered and, in most cases, returned to the colony. However, rather than return him to outdoor life in the colony where he was found, we decided Baby Bear was young enough to be socialized, so we placed him in a TC Paw foster home to grow up; learn to be a loving pet; and live inside where it's warm and dry, and there's always enough food. Since he spent his first couple of months without human contact, Baby Bear is still a little shy, but he purrs when you hold and snuggle him. Lots of attention and an occasional Churu treat will make you his best friend in no time. Baby Bear's foster home has several other cats. He chases and plays with them and is part of the pack. He's even learning that the large dog there is A-Okay to have around. Baby Bear will do best with another cat playmate, possibly another TC Paw adoptable cat. It's a lucky family that adopts this fuzzy, little bear.
