Tempura

My story

A volunteer writes:What is a little all ebony kitty to do, all alone in a kennel, in a big shelter when he comes from a house filled to the brim with other cats? That little kitty will usually stay at the back of its cubby and try to keep its head above the water until for what ever reason, a breakthrough happens. Sometimes it's sudden. At other times, it's gradual. Tempura has chosen the latter. He is not avoiding my hand anymore, leans a little  and I even found him resting today in the main area of his kennel, laying on his back, his four in the air...It was a cute sight! I will not finish this bio today as I know that I will have even better news to tell tomorrow after I meet Tempura again. Stay tuned but anyway, come to see Tempura  and help him get out of his shell. Home is near, Tempura....Update(5/19/25) Tempura has definitively made progress. He is not confined 100% to his cubby anymore. He enjoys petting and purrs. He lounges in his living room and even started to play with a laser beam and a catnip toy. Play is a sign that given a patient and understanding new owner, Tempura will get to be a pet, a beloved kitty with a name and not a number in a crowd anymore in his new home. Primary Color: Black Weight: 7.2 Age: 3yrs 1mths 3wks
