Earl Grey 1 (Sponsored)

Like a properly brewed cup of tea, handsome Earl Grey is at once subtle and commanding, a full-bodied guy with a gentle, unassuming personality. For years, Earl Grey remained fearful of people, preferring to hang back on the perimeters of the outside enclosure. When a new enclosure was constructed for our more shy kitties at the refuge, Earl Grey was relocated by the staff in hopes he'd make some gradual progress with socialization. And what a difference it has made! Earl Grey hangs out in the main room of the adoption building a good bit now, waiting on feeding times. A couple of our dedicated volunteers have made efforts to interact with him on a regular basis, and he now allows gentle pets from those who've showed him consistent kindness and patience, and we look forward to seeing him continue to gradually come out of his shell. Earl Grey is a cat for experienced cat owners only who understand patience, cat communication/body language and the need to allow the cat to bloom and bond 100% at their own pace over time. The home environment needs to be peaceful and tranquil, with no children under the age of 16. In addition to unrestricted access to a warm, safe home environment, Earl Grey also requires safe restricted access to the outdoors - for example, a screened porch or safe outdoor area with cat-proof fencing. If you would like to meet him, please schedule an appointment to meet him in person and our volunteers would be happy to initiate an introduction. Approx DOB: 11/14/2013
