My story

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

Hi, Im Penguin. Im a 3-year-old boy with a soft heart and a quiet spirit. Ive spent my life around other cats, so Im used to sharing space and keeping the peace. Im the kind of guy who watches the world from a cozy corner before deciding its safe to join in.<br/><br/>I can be shy when I first meet new people, and loud or busy environments make me a little nervous. Thats why Im hoping to find a calm, peaceful home where I can relax without small children rushing around. Give me time, patience, and a gentle routine, and youll start to see me open up in my own sweet way.<br/><br/>I may not be the boldest cat in the room, but Im loyal, sensitive, and full of quiet affection once I feel secure. If youre looking for a soft-spoken companion who will blossom with kindness, Id love the chance to be your Penguin.
