Story
Waffles – The Midnight Gentleman Who’s Still Deciding If Humans Are Worth the Hype Waffles is a sleek, shiny 1-year-old black domestic shorthair with the glossiest coat you’ve ever seen and huge golden eyes that watch the world like he’s taking mental notes for a future memoir. He’s not scared; he’s just… thoughtfully reserved. Think of him as the quiet new neighbor who nods politely from the porch but hasn’t accepted the block-party invite yet. Right now, Waffles is in the “observation phase” of making friends. He’ll happily crunch his breakfast while you sit in the room (progress!), but if you make any sudden moves or look too eager, he melts back into his favorite cubby like a velvet shadow. That’s okay. Waffles moves at the speed of trust, and every day he spends a few more seconds studying you before disappearing. Touch? Not on the menu yet. Hands are still filed under “suspicious objects,” but his body language is soft—no hissing, no swatting, just a calm “I’ll let you know when I’m ready.” When that day comes (and it will, for the right patient person), we suspect Waffles is going to be one of those cats who goes from zero to lap velcro overnight. Play is still private, snacks are supervised, and laser pointers are viewed from a safe distance with cautious interest. We haven’t tested him with other cats yet because he’s still settling in, but his relaxed demeanor suggests he’ll either enjoy a quiet feline roommate or be perfectly content ruling the kingdom solo. Waffles is looking for a calm, adult-only home with no pressure and plenty of hiding spots that can slowly become lounging spots. He needs someone who speaks fluent slow-blink, who’s happy to let love grow at a whisper instead of a shout, and who understands that the best friendships sometimes start with just sharing Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online: https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/ Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 30, 2026, 10:57 am
