Meet Peter
Sweet Peter
Peter is a sensitive soul who is having a particularly hard time with the hustle and bustle of shelter life. All the unfamiliar sounds, sights, and activity can be overwhelming for him, and when he’s feeling unsure, his first instinct is to find a safe place and keep his distance.
Peter came from a home with many cats, so the company of other felines is familiar to him. Having a trusted kitty companion may help him feel more secure, and he could potentially be adopted alongside one of the cats he already knows.
He’s a shy and easily startled boy who will need a little extra patience while he learns that he’s safe. Peter isn’t looking for someone to rush him into being brave – he needs a quiet home where he can decompress, establish a routine, and build trust one small step at a time.
He’s also regrowing his coat after a flea infestation, so his handsome fur is still filling back in. With some time and good care, this beautiful boy will be looking and feeling more like himself again.
Peter would love an indoor-only home where things are peaceful and predictable. A patient person, cozy hiding spots, gentle encouragement, and perhaps a familiar feline friend could make all the difference for him.
Shelter life can be a lot for a sensitive cat like Peter, but the Peter you see here may not be the Peter you’ll see once he feels safe. Give him the chance to trade the shelter noise for a quiet home, and he may finally have the opportunity to let his sweet personality shine.
