Truffle

My story

DOB March 28, 2019 As a rescue from a hoarding situation, Truffle displays consistent trauma and fear-based aggression: growling, prolonged hissing, lunging, and swiping with claws. He actively avoids eye contact and rejects all physical handling. He is not currently socialized to humans. He need to go to a single-pet household, with a quiet, low-stimulation environment and significant time to decompress before any socialization attempts begin. Truffle is not a beginner cat; he requires an adopter with experience socializing fearful or aggressive cats, someone who understands that progress will be slow, setbacks will happen, and that handling attempts made too early will erode trust rather than build it. He is not recommended for homes with children, other pets, or high household traffic. The right adopter will know exactly what they’re taking on.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Truffle, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
