Buggie - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in New York, New York

What my friends at ACC say about me:
I have lived with cats in my previous home.
I am finding the shelter a bit overwhelming. Outside one-on-one I am a great big cuddle bug.
I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.
I have lived with dogs in my previous home and was fearful and defensive around them. I would do best in a home without dogs!
Buggie is laying in the middle of his kennel, picking his head up and observing the assessor with wide eyes as the kennel door is opened. When he is spoken to softly, he gets up, lip licking but approaching the front of the kennel and greeting the assessor with a soft head bunt. He allows all petting, leaning in and raising his back as he is pet, tail occasionally swooshing but continuing to lean into and remain receptive to extended petting. Buggie is able to be easily picked up but will squirm when held. When he is placed back into the kennel, he remains at the front and continues to softly head bunt the assessor's hand and leans into all further petting, continuing to raise his back as he is pet. He seems a bit uncertain about the new environment throughout the assessment, lip licking and looking around with dilated pupils, but remains social and engaged with the assessor. When the kennel door is closed and the interaction is ended, he calmly walks over to his wet food bowl and begins to eat.

Buggie interacts with the observer, solicits & appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience or who demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.
