Clyde - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Belmont, North Carolina

Meet Clyde!

Clyde is a gorgeous little black panther who has come such a long way. He came from a home where we were doing TNR for a colony of about 20 cats. We took in the younger, friendlier kittens, and Clyde has been learning that people—and indoor life—aren't so scary after all.

He absolutely loves being petted and is very food motivated, which has definitely helped him discover that humans can be pretty great! He's not quite a fan of being held yet, but he's making progress at his own pace. He makes the cutest mewing noises and purrs are loudly.

Clyde will come up to rub against me, and he's incredibly curious when he sees me holding my adult resident cats. He loves playing with my older boys and especially enjoys having his sister around.

Clyde and his sister aren't bonded, so they don't need to be adopted together. However, Clyde would do best in a home with another playful kitten or young cat who can keep up with his energy and give him a feline friend to play with. He is fine with our dog.

He's still discovering his confidence, but watching this sweet boy learn to trust has been so rewarding.

Clyde is ready to find someone who will give him the time, patience, and love to become the amazing companion we know he can be.

He is neutered, chipped, vaccinated, and ready for his new home!
