Eugene

My story

I have lived with cats.I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you.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.I love getting pets and - you guessed it - snuggles!Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!My foster writes: Hello, my name is Eugene! I've recently settled into my foster home and am getting comfortable here. Some of my favorite things include being petted, giving hugs, tuna, morsels in gravy, and my absolute favorite, salmon lick n'laps. I'm hoping to find a new home that's mostly quiet, as I'm a shy and quiet cat.My foster mom's roommate recently brought her cat, Tito, into the apartment. He doesn't bother me, but I prefer staying in my foster mom's room when he's around. I'm hoping we become best buddies soon. That said, I do like to wander a bit every day and explore my surroundings. What I really want is a loving owner who can give me the affection I crave.My other foster writes: Hi, my name is Eugene! I'm a bit shy at first but I warm up really fast and love pets and chin scratches. Around bed time I like cuddling with my foster mom and making biscuits on the bed. During the day I like to play with ribbons and other toys I can chase in circles! Sometimes I also like being cradled like a baby for short periods of time by the people I trust.A volunteer writes: Eugene initially seemed a little baffled by my visit, but he's a can-do kind of kitty determined to give his best even if he isn't completely sure what's happening. When I first met Eugene, he was sleeping on top of his Kuranda bed. What happened next was a slow motion welcome of a cat who simply tries, which in itself is enough to win my heart. First, he looked up to sniff my hand, and then stretched his neck all the way out like a baby giraffe. He thought for a moment before leaning his perfect little cheek into my hand, only to go all out and flop on his side because what is my hand if not a pillow? Eugene welcomed me on his own time and it's a gift. Eugene looked like he wanted to hop down and would ready his little cat self to jump before deciding things were ok as they were. This is understandable especially because Eugene has had a lot of big changes recently. He lived in a home with many other cats and was brought to us after his person passed away. He's hoping for someone to give him a chance. Primary Color: Black Weight: 9.2 Age: 9yrs 6mths 4wks
