Fang

My story

Fang is a sweet, curious cat who has made remarkable progress in his journey toward trust and comfort in a home environment. Though shy and timid, he shows affection in his own unique way and enjoys the company of humans. Fang thrives in a calm, predictable home where someone is often present. He expresses love through his quiet companionship, always eager to be near you. Initially he was not a fan of physical touch but he has made remarkable progress in his foster being able to pet him!Fang is still discovering his meow, making him a quieter feline. His soft vocalizations match his gentle personality. He has a hearty appetite, particularly enjoying wet food with some added water, and shows an eagerness along with patience when it comes to treats. Fang’s foster family has helped him improve his social skills. He`s come a long way and is eager to be fed on a regular schedule. He prefers a soft, slow approach to interactions. If overwhelmed, he retreats to his “safety zone” until he feels ready to engage again.Playtime is a joy for Fang, who loves toys like wands, springs, felt balls, and mice. His playful nature is delightful, though he’s still learning to manage his excitement. His manners, both in play and during treat time, are improving with gentle guidance.Fang has had a challenging start in life. He came from a cat colony and suffered from dental disease and an infection, which left him struggling to eat. After a full dental extraction in 2024, he’s now healthier and gaining confidence daily. His past has made him a sensitive, cautious cat, but with care, he’s blossoming into a loving companion.Fang seeks a quiet, patient home with someone experienced in caring for a cat still learning to be social. He’s not suited for a busy or chaotic environment but will thrive in a household with regular routines. Fang needs a caregiver willing to let him progress at his own pace, gently encouraging him to open up and trust. With the right person, Fang will continue to grow, becoming a more affectionate and playful companion, ready to share his sweet nature in a forever home.Fang had a full mouth extraction in August 2024 and is negative for FIV and feline leukemia. He is prone to gastrointestinal issues and requires a prescription diet and daily probiotic. He has been treated for fleas and parasites and is up-to-date on vaccines.
