Tiger - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Tiger is a cautious and timid cat who will need a calm, cat-savvy adopter to help him feel secure. He’s very afraid of people right now and prefers to hide rather than interact, but with patience, gentle handling, and a quiet environment, he can slowly begin to build confidence. Tiger will do best in a home that understands he’ll open up at his own pace and may take time before showing his true personality. With steady reassurance and a stress-free space, Tiger has the potential to grow into a more relaxed and comfortable companion.
