Gary

GARY is a 7-year-old, neutered, male BLACK PERSIAN with the warm yellow eyes. He is fully vetted and ready to bring some love to a calm, quiet household.

Gary was surrendered by his owner who didn’t have time to care for him anymore. Initially when he arrived at his foster home he was scared and sad.  Gary was very matted and had not been neutered yet.  The vet gave him a lion cut with his neuter and as he healed, he started to become affectionate.  Once he learned to feel safe and he has come out of his shell. He now likes attention on his terms. When he is ready, he will rub legs and enjoy head scritches, back scratches and talking to you.

Initially reserved and cautious, Gary takes a time to trust those around him, but once he does, he will approach for attention. He isn’t a lap cat and does not like being held for very long.  He should not be forced to cuddle.  He shows his affection by talking and allowing short sessions of petting.  Gary would thrive in a home with someone who is experienced with fearful cats and can offer patience and gentleness during his transition. He will need a home that is experienced with long haired breeds and the special grooming they need with his long coats.

The best home for Gary would be an adult only home with no other cats where he can be king of the house! Gary is tolerant of calm dogs, given a slow introduction.
