Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Tom Selleck (#32449)

Tom Selleck is a very shy, sensitive soul who's still learning that the world can be a safe place. Found as a stray, he's understandably bashful and prefers to keep a low profile - especially when it comes to eye contact. (Pro tip: staring at his face makes him nervous!)

Tom doesn't seek out affection, but he does accept it gently and calmly. He allows full handling, doesn't mind being picked up or carried, and is overall a very good, well-mannered boy. When he feels unsure, he'll hide behind or inside furniture, tuck himself behind the litter box, or adorably bury his face if there's nothing nearby to hide behind. Face hiding is kind of his signature move.

With patience, a calm environment, and someone who understands shy cats, Tom will continue to build confidence and feel more comfortable and secure. He'll do best in a quiet home with a kind human willing to let him go at his own pace.

If you have a soft spot for gentle, timid cats who just need time and understanding, Tom Selleck may be your perfect match.
