Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

*This cat is from a hoarding situation. They will likely need time to adjust to home life. They have lived with many other cats but may have not experienced socialization with people and things like petting and large open spaces are overwhelming for them. Adopters should be willing to be patient during this process. Sequestering a cat in one small room for 2-4 weeks can be very helpful and gives the cat a safe place to call their own. It is important to let them go at their own pace with building a relationship with their new family and limiting lots of commotion and visitors in the beginning is wise. They may have not experienced life outside of the hoarding situation, so things could be overwhelming for them at first. Patience and positive interactions are crucial. Aversive methods of training should be avoided. Using treats, play and enrichment to build trust and teach new things is the way to go! All cats are of course unique and the time in which they each warm up to people and places is just as unique as they are.

My Friends at Wayside say:

My home preferences:

Hi, I’m Brows!

I’m a 3-year-old guy with a gentle heart and a story that’s still being written. I came from a hoarding situation with my best friend, Otter, and we’ve been by each other’s side through it all. We’re a bonded pair, which means wherever life takes us next, we’re going together!

I’ll be honest... I can be a little shy when we first meet. Big changes are a lot for me, so I like to take my time getting comfortable and figuring things out. But underneath that timid start is a whole lot of love just waiting to shine through. Once I trust you, you’ll see just how sweet I really am.

I’m also a proud graduate of the TABBY program (To Achieve Best Behavior Yet)! I’ve worked really hard to build my confidence and learn new skills, and I’ve made so much progress. I’m still growing every day, and I’m looking for someone who understands that the journey doesn’t stop here... it just continues at home!

What I really need is a patient, cat-savvy adopter who will give me (and Otter!) the time, space, and encouragement we need to keep blossoming. A quieter home where we can settle in at our own pace would be perfect. With a little understanding and a lot of love, I know we’ll become the best versions of ourselves.

If you’re someone who believes in second chances and finds joy in watching shy cats come out of their shells, we might just be the purrfect pair for you. Otter and I are ready to start our next chapter. Could it be with you?

Love, Brows
