Nigel

My story

What my friends at ACC say about me:I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am.I am looking for a home with a patient person.I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.Nigel appreciates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior. Nigel may be intimidated by small children, any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.A volunteer writes: I don't know how happy Nigel is in his work right now. There have been a lot of changes and he doesn't seem the type to shrug, smile, and roll with it. I'm certainly not that type either, even when I understand the changes and I think it may be safe to assume that Nigel doesn't. Whenever I open his condo door, he hops to his perch to create some space. If Nigel's already on his perch, I'm implicitly invited to his game of pretend which is when Nigel believes his beautiful stripes magically camouflage into the condo wall. He stands out more than he'd like and so do his notes. We've learned that in his previous home, Nigel enjoyed spending time around his people, being brushed, and being picked up and held. A friendly and talkative lapcat, shelter life just hasn't been it for him. Nigel needs a helping hand, so we're hoping you'll extend one out to him.
