Sunbeam

My story

What my friends at ACC say about me:Sunbeam is an adult cat that may not have had many interactions with humans from an early age. He is apprehensive of people and while showing no aggressive behaviors, he does attempt to flee or avoid human contact. It is difficult to predict if he will respond to socialization but we recommend offering high value treats and food to help build a positive association to humans. Please be mindful that older cats will require more time and skill in order for them to be comfortable around people. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.Hello!· My history is a mystery and we're still learning about my personality. I've been very nervous in the Care Center and I may be the same way in a home environment. Hopefully I can have time to relax and get more comfortable around people, but there's also a chance I may just prefer my independence. That's okay too! · Over time, I may get used to one or two people who will be allowed to touch me. I may choose to hang out near you, or sleep on the bed with you at night.· I would be a great choice for people with a quiet household, who want to make a difference for an individual cat. I will require patience and understanding.· I will not be a good choice for busy homes, including those with children.· I may be a fine choice for situations where you don't have a lot of time to devote to a pet - most kitties like me do not need or want much attention from people.A volunteer writes: With his tail wrapped around his face like a big, fluffy, tangerine scarf, Sunbeam is trying to make it through the day without creating too many waves. He was found abandoned in a building with many other cats and settling into shelter life hasn't been the smoothest, though it's not for lack of trying. When he first came to us, Sunbeam really gave it his all - accepting pets and eating the treats we offered. He's been with us since April and, considering he's the type who needs a little extra patience., all that time without a family to call his own has left him sinking into his own tail scarf. Sunbeam is hoping to find a quiet and patient family who will welcome him and his safety scarf with the love he deserves. Primary Color: Orange Tabby Weight: 9.9 Age: 7yrs 1mths 2wks
