My foster writes:With patience, Blakey's curiosity allows him to come out of his shell. Blakey loves butt rubs and petting, but only for a short period of time. Blakey enjoys strings and wands, as he has a high energy level throughout the day. He loves discovering new hiding spots and coming out to play.Blakey is loving and gentle boy. Give him a little space to adjust to his new environment and he'll be asking for pets by the end of the day! He's very sweet-tempered, he doesnt mind being picked up every once in a while or getting his nails cut (but he might need a break halfway).Blakey is full of adorable quirks. He loves to greet you by rolling over on his back to say hi. He also keeps his eyes half closed most of the time so he looks like he's judging everyone (he's not). He loves to come over to you often to ask for pets or butt pats.He's also a great communicator: he sits by his toys when he wants to play, comes over when he wants pets/butt pats, gently nibbles on your hand when he wants you to stop (or just leaves), rolls over on his back to say that he's happy to see you, and pretends to bite at the curtains when he's hungry.Playtime is his favorite time of the day. He loves his wand toys, bunny kickers, and spring toys. He loves to play with the wand toy to practice his sneak attack maneuvers. He's addicted to concealed motion toys. He also figured out how to use a walking pad! (Although he doesn't stay on it for long)What my friends at ACC say about me:I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.Please check here for updated adoption hours.A volunteer writes: Leaping all over his condo like it's his personal bouncy house, Blakey loves to play. Brought to us in May, I've watched Blakey's dynamic personality blossom and bloom. I know it hasn't come so easily to him, but I love everything he's shown me and I treasure the opportunities he's shared. I remember when he first came in and hardly left his den. Then, there was when he'd come out for treats and a couple of pets before seeking his cubby. I also remember when Blakey would stretch and look out with open curiosity at Adoptions. With his wide open face, Blakey appeared to be waiting for the best time to jump in. To see Blakey now, dancing at the front of his condo like he's the star of Adoptions, reminds me that I love him and that it's hard to really get to know such a special cat in the shelter. While it's been far too long for him to be without a family to call his own, he seems to be especially grateful for a little love and attention on his own terms. We know there's a forever family out there waiting to welcome Blakey. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 11.5 Age: 3yrs 2mths 1wks
