In the rescue’s words

I’m a strange little guy who is fairly shy but also quite needy of attention. I am not hissy or mean spirited. I love other cats but my way of communicating is not always well received as I tend to hurl into those who I want to be my friend with a head butt. My feelings get hurt if my efforts are not well received. A calm cat friend or a younger playful pal would work. I am loving, learning that being picked up isn’t so bad and building my confidence now that I have a safe foster home. I had a tough life before I was rescued so please share some kindness and grace toward me. Meet me Saturdays at Pet Smart Harbison from 12 to 4 pm.
