Story
Meet Moose, a handsome young black cat with a gentle, sensitive nature. He can be a bit of a shy guy at first, and because of that he may try to flee in unfamiliar situations until he feels safe and settled. Once Moose has time to adjust, his confidence begins to grow, especially in a calm, predictable environment. He would truly thrive in an indoor-only home with another friendly cat, as having a feline companion helps him feel more secure and less alone. With patience, careful transitions, and lots of reassurance, Moose will settle in and show his sweet, loyal side to the people who give him the time he needs. 🖤🐾 Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 3.6 Age: 1yrs 1mths 1wks
