Story
Hi, my name is Carl. I'm a shy, sweet boy who likes quiet. I'm afraid of rain/storms. Other cats usually bully me. If you can be patient and gentle, we'll learn to be great friends. My parents found Carl in their barn around 2019 and adopted him, but their other cats bullied him so much that he never came out from under a dresser. When I moved in next door with my other cat of about the same age, they gave him to me. My other cat bullies him, but not as badly. They managed to tolerate each other through several years & moves, until now. A new family (and cat?) moved into an adjoining apartment recently, and the stress between Carl and the other cat increased until Carl was too scared to use the litter boxes. He's been pooping outside the litter box for a few months now. It's gotten better on anti-anxiety meds, but he really needs a quiet loving house with no other cats and no neighbors through the walls. He's about 8 years old.

Story
I have had Turtle since she was born. She will be 8 months old on the 24th of this month. She is a very loving and sweet cat who often hides or cuddles. As she gets more comfortable with you she will become more energetic. She loves sleeping in her cat kennel and even plays fetch with small puff balls. She needs somewhere that feels safe, loved and cared for. She will only eat wet food or treats. She just stares at it if its dry.

Cat Test: (Good with Cats) Loki has been around other cats and seems to do well with them. Kid Test: (Good with Older Kids) Loki would do best with older kids due to still being quite shy. Litter Box Trained: (Uses Litter Box) Loki is litter box trained.Energy Level: (Medium) Loki is a 6-month-old little lady with a shy heart and a quiet curiosity about the world. She’s still learning to trust people, but every day she makes small, brave steps forward. With patience, gentle voices, and a calm environment, Loki slowly comes around—watching from a safe distance, then inching closer as her confidence grows. She’ll thrive in a loving home that understands shy kitties and is willing to let her set the pace while she learns that humans can be pretty wonderful.

Adoption Fee: $135 Includes: Spay/Neuter, Rabies, Microchip, FVRCP, Pyrantel, Age: 3 years oldWeight: 10.2 lbsMeet Elvis, a gentle soul with a quiet charm and a heart that’s slowly learning to trust. This shy boy is still finding his footing with people, but with patience and kindness, he’s beginning to discover that human companionship can be something truly special.Elvis may take his time warming up, but that makes every small step—every soft blink, cautious sniff, or tentative approach—feel like a meaningful milestone. He prefers calm voices, gentle movements, and a safe, predictable space where he can observe the world at his own pace.BEHAVIORDogs: Elvis has not been around dogs to the knowledge of shelter staff. Due to his shy personality, he may do well in a home with either no dogs, or an extremely low energy dog.Cats: Elvis has been around other cats while out and about. He does not yet join in on play with others, and if he feels intimidated he tends to hide.Kids: Elvis might do okay around kind and considerate children who understand boundaries and know when to give space. High energy makes him nervous.Litter Box Trained: Uses Litter BoxEnergy Level: LowIf you are interested in meeting and adopting or have any questions please call the Lee`s Summit Animal Shelter at 816-969-1640 to schedule an appointment.
