Siamese kittens & cats in South Portland, Maine

Galileo is a breathtakingly handsome boy with crystal-blue eyes, a plush, cloud-soft coat, and a presence that quietly stops you in your tracks. Found wandering outside in New Gloucester, he arrived at HART frightened and unsure of the world. At just under three years old, Galileo joined our Shy Angels Program - and what a journey it’s been!Once a master hider, Galileo has made remarkable progress. Today, he enjoys gentle pets and brushing sessions, rewards his favorite people with deep, rumbling purrs, and happily indulges in his favorite treat: Churu. His affection is soft and sincere, offered only once he feels safe and respected.A true wallflower with an old-soul-owl-like-presence, Galileo prefers to observe the world from the safety of a perch, quietly taking everything in. He thrives in a calm, predictable environment and largely keeps to himself, unbothered by the other cats around him. Because of this, he would do best as an only cat or with other mellow cats who will respect his boundaries.Galileo’s ideal home is quiet and patient, with an experienced adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let him set the pace. There’s every reason to believe that with consistency, patience, and love, he will continue to blossom. Loud noises can startle him, so a peaceful home without dogs or young children is important.Gentle, soulful, and already so brave, Galileo has come a long way. With the right person by his side, his journey is only just beginning - and it’s sure to be a beautiful one.Please fill out an adoption application at hartofme.org to meet Galileo. 🐾Galileo is part of our Shy Angels Socialization Program and will require a meeting with a Shy Angels team member for final adoption approval.Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As
