Panda

My story

Panda is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process! Learn more about his time in foster care here: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:70ab1a31-067c-48af-bc16-6230f1eea105 Panda is an extremely loving, sweet, and gentle five-year-old male who LOVES to be brushed and pet. He is quiet, gentle and affectionate. His foster notes his progress and how nicely he is settling in "At 48 hours panda was extremely timid and hid under anything he could find, not really interacting with me at all. After a week he would interact a little bit, but run away if I made a move towards him. Today he is a sweet and silly boy who loves to play with toys, and get LOTS of pets and scratches. My fav thing is how he will follow me around the apartment wherever I go, run off if i turn around to talk to him. But then quickly comes back to hang and observe. Panda currently sleeps at the foot of my bed and no longer runs away when I go to pet him. None of that was possible even a week ago! Panda has come to enjoy and crave human connection, something I do feel may be brand new for him. He has come so far from the scared cat who hid for the first 2 weeks! He is a big sweet boy that is learning to trust people seems to prefer a slow and calm environment. Panda’s favorite thing in the whole world is getting scratches, getting brushed, and pets where you tell him he's the best boy!". Panda is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and had preventative treatments to ensure he is ready for his new home.
