My name is Eduardo!

My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!

It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children.

I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am.

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.

I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.

What my friends at ACC say about me:

Eduardo was lying down at the bottom cubby with his head and ears forward, focused on the assessor with a neutral body and eyes. He curiously sniffs treats offered by hand and then flinches, short stress meows, and swats the assessor's hand (breaking the assessor's glove) when pet on the head. He crawls back, sniffs the scratcher tool, allows petting on the head with his ears tilted to the side, and then rolls and leans in hard for cheek rubs by the tool. He tenses up when stroking his body and leans his head forward to sniff more treats offered. When attempting to pet Eduardo by hand again, he leans back, sinks his head into his shoulders, and swipes the air in front of him. Pick up was not attempted in order to reduce stress.

Eduardo 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: Eduardo stretches out in his cubby like he's on a beach vacation and we can't wait until he learns about forever family. On his shelter vacation he lies with his belly up, enormous fluffy paws in every direction so that he lazily regard the room like he doesn't have to. The shelter might feel like a vacation to Eduardo because he was found frozen in place outside on one of the coldest days. Eduardo welcomed help when it arrived in the form of a Good Samaritan and a trip to us where, by the looks of him, it seems like he's truly embraced Care Center life. I quickly learned that Eduardo's vacation is kind of a solo trip at the moment and I totally get and respect that. When I extended my hand, which he admittedly might not be used to, Eduardo quickly righted himself to investigate the intrusion I inadvertently posed. Blinking out at me, I almost got distracted by Eduardo's cheeks but learned that he likes the scratcher tool for cheek rubs. While the shelter vacation has been a great break from whatever was going on in his life before, we can't wait for him to find his forever with you.
