Javanese kittens & cats in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Biggie is a gentle soul who's still adjusting to shelter life. The shelter is a bustling place, so he tends to hide and keep to himself while he waits for his person. But if you get on his level and approach him with patience, you'll find that he loves chin rubs and crunchy treats. It's clear that he does want to connect, and more of his personality will emerge with a compassionate adopter who will give him time to feel safe. To that point, giving him a slow intro* to his new home can ease the transition and accelerate the bonding process. If you believe that the best friendships are worth developing over time, Biggie just might be the perfect match for you. *A slow intro means confining him to a small spare room or bathroom with a hiding spot such as a cardboard box on its side, along with his food, water, and litter. Going into his room at regular intervals and sitting on the floor, reading aloud (to help him get used to your voice), offering treats, and petting him gently will win him over in time. Then, once he's comfortable enough to approach you for attention, he should be ready to venture out into the rest of the household.
