Kodiak - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Novato, California

Kodiak may look like an ordinary cat, but the people who know him will tell you he's anything but. He's easy to miss in the shelter - not only because his black coat has him perfectly camouflaged, but because he tends to hide from people he doesn't know. But if you quietly enter his space, sit on the ground, and let him come to you, Kodiak will quickly reveal his true nature. Before long, he'll be rubbing all over you, flopping dramatically onto his side, and purring away. He'll shove his head under your hands, insisting on pets again and again, never seeming to tire of affection. One of his favorite positions is draped across your lap, belly exposed and back legs sprawled out - completely vulnerable, completely trusting. We are so in love with this brave boy, who wants nothing more than a life full of love and affection. But Kodiak needs someone special, too. He's looking for a quiet, calm home with a patient, understanding person willing to give him the time he needs to acclimate and feel safe. With positive reinforcement (yay Churu!) and a little patience, Kodiak blossoms beautifully as fear turns into confidence. Kodiak previously lived with other cats and a dog and may do well with animal companions in the home. He would also thrive with safe outdoor access, such as a secure yard or catio. If you're looking for an incredibly affectionate lap cat and are willing to put in the time and patience to earn his trust, Kodiak just might be the little bear you've been searching for. Once he lets you into his heart, you'll discover the sweetest, snuggliest companion imaginable. Primary Color: Black Weight: 13.7lbs Age: 4yrs 2mths 3wks Animal has been Neutered
