Axel's Story

Axel is a sweet boy who is a little on the shy side. He is getting braver every day and he has decided snuggles and head scritches are a good thing. The way to his heart is a food plate - if you are willing to feed him he will give your friendship a chance. He does have a hear murmur but he is not on any medications for this at this time. He will need regular vet visits to keep an eye on his condition. Axel is looking for a home on the quieter side so he won't have too much stress and he is hoping to find a new best friend. If you are looking for a cat who is looking for love, even if it takes a little extra time to get there, Axel may be the cat for you.
