My story

Ice Man is a handsome DSH brown tabby with white male born approximately 5/3/2020. Meet Ice Man and Maverick – A Bond Like No Other Our story began happily. We were adopted as kittens and lived joyfully in our new home for four wonderful years, always by each other’s side. But one day, out of the blue, our family decided they didn’t want us anymore. They took us to a shelter, and although the car ride was terrifying, we were at least together. The shelter was a scary place, and we spent a week wondering what we had done wrong to be left behind. Thankfully, because we had microchips, we were able to return to our rescue group, who welcomed us back with open arms and a loving foster home. But the trauma of that week made us scared and uncertain. We hid under the couch for three weeks, too afraid to trust anyone. We didn’t eat much and lost some weight. It wasn’t healthy, but we were determined to heal. Now, after overcoming these challenges, we’re ready to find a new family who will cherish us forever—together. We’re a bonded pair, and we believe we’re twice the company and twice the love. We’re still figuring out how to communicate with our foster mom, but maybe our new family will be able to understand us better. Maverick Favorite sound: The crinkle of a bag! When I hear it, I come running, but my foster mom hasn’t figured out which treats I want yet. Personality: I love to sit in laps (though I’m so big, it can be tricky!), and I enjoy playing and running around with Ice Man. Sadly, I don’t have my old toys or scratching posts, so playtime is a bit short. I’m not sure how I’d feel around dogs or kids. Fun Fact: I’m still learning how to communicate my needs, but I’m hopeful my new family will understand my signs! Ice Man Favorite sound: When I cry, I’m asking for canned food. I get a little at a time, and that’s all I need to be happy! Personality: I love snuggling on the couch and I’m a big fan of treats. I don’t have any of my old blankets, but I’ve found comfort in one on my foster mom’s couch. I’m a bit curious about other kitties, though they’re not too welcoming, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about sharing my space with other cats. I’m also unsure about dogs and kids. Fun Fact: I’m a cuddle bug who just wants to feel safe and loved. Our Promise We’ve been through a lot, but we’re strong, resilient, and ready to bring joy into your home. We may be shy at first, but with patience and love, we’ll warm up and show you the bond we share. We are never going back to a shelter, so we’re hoping that you can be the family we call our own, forever. Ice Man is microchipped and currently in a foster home. His adoption fee is $105.May 19, 2025, 11:25 am

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