Story
Sweet, Cuddly Boy Needs Patient Home (Dubuque)I adopted him as a tiny rescue kitten found without a mama. He's grown into a sweet, large cat with a thick coat. Because he missed early kitten lessons, he does not know how to "cat". He's a "fraidy cat" about everything—except thunderstorms! He is terrified of strangers, so give him some time and space to get to know you. He's also camera-shy!His favorites:• Melts for belly rubs, right ear scratches, and nose rubs• Loves food and treats.• Loves my older cat; he'd probably do great with another friendly cat.Grooming: His fur is very thick and needs regular brushing to prevent mats.Why Rehoming: An emotional decision due to my own deteriorating health and physical challenges.Ideal Match: A patient, calm, quiet household with no small children. He needs a few weeks to adjust, but he should warm up just fine.⚠️ Important: Because of my health, I cannot travel. Adopters must be willing to come to me in Dubuque, Iowa to meet and pick up.
