My story

🐾 Meet Billy – A Big-Hearted Boy Searching for His Unicorn Home šŸ–¤ Billy is a ridiculously handsome 3-year-old tuxedo gentleman with a floofy chin, expressive whiskers, and a face that’s always just a little surprised to see you—like he’s saying, ā€œWait, you’re here for me?ā€ And yes, we are, Billy. Yes, we are. This snuggly soft boy loves affection once he trusts you. He’ll happily be draped over your shoulder like a fuzzy scarf, follow you from room to room like your pint-sized bodyguard, and press his whole face into yours like a cat-shaped love letter. His goofy, charming nature is pure gold—but getting to that treasure takes time. Here’s the real talk: Billy has a tough time adjusting to home life. He does great in the shelter where routines are predictable and his space is familiar. But new environments, sounds, or changes? Those send Billy’s nervous system into overdrive. Past adoptions haven’t worked out because he needs a very slow, structured transition—more than most homes are prepared for right away. Billy’s Perfect Match Will Be: 🐾 Experienced with feral or shutdown cats šŸ” Able to provide a small, secure space or crate setup during his adjustment period šŸ’— Extremely patient and committed to helping him feel safe over time Billy might do okay with a calm, non-dominant feline roommate, but honestly? He’d love to be your one and only. No dogs or kids, please—they’re just too much for his sensitive soul. Billy isn’t a ā€œplug-and-playā€ cat. But if you’re the kind of person who sees past the challenge to the deep, loyal, cuddlebug waiting underneath—then you might just be the unicorn he’s been waiting for. Adopt Billy, and give this shy sweetheart the chance to shine. šŸ–¤ Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If this post is still up, we are still accepting applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s). There's no need to email us about availability, just submit an application if you're interested! For more information about our adoption process, please visit our website: https://scruffypawsanimalrescue.org/about-adoption/ All adoption fees include: - Spay/neuter surgery Adoption Process - Microchip - Rabies and distemper vaccinations - Proof of FIV/feline leukemia testing - Flea treatment & deworming - A veterinary exam Please Note: Scruffy Paws operates by appointment only and is not open to the public. Many of our cats and kittens are in foster homes, so for the safety of our fosters and adopters, an approved adoption application is required before scheduling a meet-and-greet. Ready to apply? Submit an adoption application on our website here: https://form.jotform.com/250234822801145

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Billy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
