Billy

Meet Billy – A Big-Hearted Boy Searching for His Unicorn Home <br/><br/>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, “Wait, you’re here for me?” And yes, we are, Billy. Yes, we are.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Billy’s Perfect Match Will Be:<br/>- Experienced with feral or shutdown cats<br/>- Able to provide a small, secure space or crate setup during his adjustment period<br/>- Extremely patient and committed to helping him feel safe over time<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Billy isn’t a “plug-and-play” 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.<br/><br/>Adopt Billy, and give this shy sweetheart the chance to shine. <br/><br/>Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying!
