What my friends at ACC say about me:
I am looking for a home with a patient person.
I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.
Jack Frost tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.
A volunteer writes: Jack Frost, my sad-eyed tabby, how can we convince you to come out of your shell? Found all by your lonesome on a cold city block, you've been a quiet scaredy cat since arriving at the Care Center. It's a tough place to decompress, we know. But the other day when I stopped in to the adoptions room to meet you, you engaged me with your eyes and slow blinked, showing me that you want to make friends. And when our behavior team came by, they said you accepted pettings on your head and body, a sure sign that you want to trust humans. We're all on your side, Jack Frost, and we know your person is out there--someone who understands that shy cats need a little time and space before they can open up and reveal their capacity to love.
