Desire

My story

What my friends at ACC say about me: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.Desire is an adult cat that may not have had many interactions with humans from an early age. Desire tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents and 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.A volunteer writes: It's not always easy to find someone who sees you, really sees you, especially in a life that moves fast, but Cole (221057) and Desire have found each other and, seeing them cuddled together in their cubby, we're so happy they have. Brought to us from homes with many other cats, meeting new people isn't always at the top of their to-do list. They're a curious pair who would casually stroll toward me in the Free Roaming Room, choosing not to get particularly close, but, as we know, some cats don't always seek the company of people friends. They will allow some pets, but prefer to play, eat, and cuddle together. When Desire first came in, he would barely even touch the treats we offered in friendship. Staring at us in hopes it would help him to deduce our next move, he began to allow pets with the scratcher tool. Cole would sit with his paws out like a little frog, hopefully waiting for treats. Now they snuggle up together, confident in having done their part to make the Care Center a home as they wait for the next step of their journey to a forever home.
