Hi, I’m Mr. Boop! I’m a handsome Domestic Shorthair with a lot of charm once you get to know me. Life hasn’t always been kind to me, but I’m starting to learn that not all humans are scary. I came into the shelter feeling very nervous and unsure. I had some pretty bad ringworm, and it left me feeling extra sensitive, both in body and heart. I wasn’t sure who to trust, and I’d rather hide than let anyone close.
But things are changing for me! I’ve been here for a while now, and every day I feel a little braver. The shelter team is super kind and patient, and they’ve shown me that love doesn’t have to hurt. I’m starting to understand that I can be a sweet boy and that there’s no need to be scared. It feels good to be noticed and cared for.
I can still get a little nervous sometimes, especially if someone moves too quickly or if there’s a loud noise. Fast movements or sudden sounds make me jump, but I promise, I’m working on it. I just need someone who will take their time with me, who will show me I can trust them. I’m not the kind of cat who will run up to you for attention right away, but if you’re patient and gentle, you’ll see the real me — a loving companion who just wants to feel safe and cared for.
I might take a little time to adjust, but I promise it’ll be worth it. With some patience and lots of love, I know I’ll blossom into the best friend you’ve been looking for.
If you think you might be the person who can help me keep growing, I’d love to meet you!
What kind of home/family I need:
- Familiar with cat behaviourÂ
- No kids under 12
