Claymore - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Jefferson, Wisconsin

- Requires a feline companion
- Looking for a home without young children
- No known experience with dogs
- Needs help learning to trust

Claymore is an active, playful boy with endless kitten energy and a love for having fun. Born to a feral mom, he wasn't sure about people when he first arrived, but time and patience have helped him realize that humans aren't so bad. He's still learning to trust and will need an adopter who is prepared to help him take those next steps.

Claymore's adopter should be ready to keep him in a small space like a bathroom at first and spend several short socialization sessions with him throughout each day for a few weeks. Giving him this time and attention will help him learn that people are safe and build the trust he needs to become a loving companion. Because this process requires gentle, patient work, Claymore is looking for a home without young children. He'll also need a feline playmate who can keep him company, give him confidence, and help him settle into his new surroundings. With patience, consistency, and a kitty friend to show him the ropes, Claymore can grow into a wonderful companion.
