Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Thor! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Thor is shy, timid, and quiet. Thor will take awhile to adjust in his new home. Loud sounds, strangers, and new environments are very scary for Thor.
-Can Live with Cats: Yes, may be okay with a calm cat who will be gentle with him. Introductions should be slow and structured to ensure everyone gets along.
-Can Live with Dogs: Nope! Dogs are too scary
-Can Live with Kids: Nope! Thor needs a quiet, calm, and low foot traffic adult home.
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes! Thor has only been indoors.
-History of Litter Box Issues: Yes, but only when stressed. Ask staff for more details.
-Energy Level: Moderate
-Bite History: None
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No
Additional Information:
Thor is shy, timid, and quiet. New environments, loud sounds, and strangers are very scary to him. Thor originally came to the shelter with his brother Loki. They were adopted together, but Loki ended up bullying Thor in the new home. Adjustment periods can be very stressful, and these behaviors were likely stress-related. Thor needs a nice QUIET home with cat-experienced adopters. It will take some time for him to adjust, and his adopters will need to be patient and understanding. Once Thor is comfortable in his new home, he will likely be an entirely different kitty.

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
