Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Ron used to be a feral "community" cat. He was born and spent most of his life outside and was happy living with his colony... until someone started poisoning them. We don't know if it was intentional cruelty, or if the cats were eating poisoned rats, or accidentally eating poison someone had set out to target rats, but some of his family members passed away from this, and we couldn't let any more cats meet such an awful fate. So, some rescuers banded together and took in all the cats we could from that area.

That was back in October. Since then, Ron has been in "socialization school" learning how to be an indoor-only cat! He's come so far, from being a scared, shy boy to loving treats and even curling up in his foster dad's lap for cuddles!

Recently we were able to take Ron to the vet for vaccines and to be tested for FIV/FeLV (he is negative!), which meant he could finally meet his foster's resident cats. While he gets along with them for the most part, he does get over excited sometimes, which freaks them out a bit. I'm wondering if he would do better as an only cat, and would love to give him the opportunity to give that lifestyle a try.

Ron is available for foster, foster-to-adopt, or adopt! Please fill out an application here: https://www.backyardcatsofbedstuy.com/adoption-application
