Destiny

My story

My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I am looking for a home with a patient person.I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am.Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!I love getting pets and - you guessed it - snuggles!Destiny tolerates attention and petting but appears to be somewhat fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.A volunteer writes: Destiny was abandoned in a building under construction, so he's pretty skilled at making homes for himself as he searches for his forever one. With his elegantly crafted pillowcase forts, he's ready to make the most out of any situation. When I first met Destiny, he had one paw stretched from underneath his fort. I took a chance and disrupted his pillowcase-scaping just a tiny bit to get a better look and was stunned by his big fluffy cheeks. Destiny seemed just as surprised to see me and promptly pulled his head back. I thought I'd messed up this brand new friendship, but this was not the case. Destiny came around and was even showing me his neat little party trick of lifting his pillow fort with his back. Building a friendship with Destiny took some time, some squeeze ups, and a whole lot of love. He gently kneaded his paws and walked forward, nuzzled my hand and softly snuggled. Destiny may be big on design, but he's definitely ready for a home and family of his own. Primary Color: Brown Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 9.2 Age: 11yrs 1mths 0wks
