JR (Junior)

Hi… I’m Junior. I know I look like I’ve been through a few things.  Life wasn’t always easy for me, and it shows a little on the outside. But inside? I’m soft as can be. I’m a gentle guy who moves slowly and thinks things over before I jump into anything. If you sit with me quietly, I’ll come closer… then a little closer… and before long, I’m leaning into your hand like I’ve known you forever. I try to be brave, but when another cat comes in with a big personality, I tend to shrink back and let them take the spotlight. I feel safest with calm companions — the kind who don’t mind that I’m still learning how to trust fully. What I really want is a peaceful home where someone sees past my tough-guy exterior and notices the sweet, tender heart underneath. If you’re patient and kind, I’ll give you all the quiet love I’ve been saving up. Estimated Birthdate:  7/19/23 Likes:  Being safe and being loved. Dislikes:  Being yelled at or intimidated by another cat. Volunteer Update:  Junior has been hard to get to know.  Lots of hiding at first, but is gradually feeling safe.  Today he was sitting on the desk when I walked in.  I softly asked him if it was OK if I came over to pet him.  He looked me right in the eye, jumped down and came right over to me and started rubbing against my leg.  Needless to say I spent some time gently petting and loving on him.   If you have ever spent time with a cat having trouble trusting people, there's nothing more rewarding than when they finally accept you as a good thing.
