Cetan's Story

Cetan is a special kind of cat, feral becoming friendly! He needs a quiet home with an experienced cat person who has tamed a feral cat before. He likes cats, so he needs to have other cats in the home. <br/><br/>Trapped in Feb. 2025, he had serious dental problems. It took a couple of months to have his dental surgery & recover, so after all of that, his rescuers decided to keep him indoors and socialize him. Whiskers accepted him into their adoption program.<br/><br/>He has come a long way! He used to hide from people & hiss at them. He now purrs! He loves to get petted, as long as either people wear heavy gloves OR he can't see their bare hand petting his back. He is very playful! He just recently (Nov 2025) started to lean on people if they sit on the floor. It's all very exciting! <br/><br/>He still needs more work, though. His fosters are working to be able to pick him up. He comes to greet people at the door to his room. As you can see in the photos, he is in a room with a gate, so he hears and sees most of what goes on in the house. He talks to the other cats in the home -- he has a huge vocabulary! <br/><br/>With the right person, who knows how to help this guy continue to come out of his shell, he could be a great pet. He seemed 100% feral 9 months ago -- and despite that, he has come to (mostly) trust his foster people and their pet sitter. His foster parents will be very particular about the home he goes to. We just want the best for this guy!<br/><br/>Cetan is also cool-looking and he is polydactyl.<br/><br/>Approx. DOB: 01/01/2020<br/><br/>==> Please follow these directions to be considered for adoption:<br/> Apply at www.ewhiskers.com/apply<br/> Please do not email<br/> Please do not click on "Start Your Inquiry" on PetFinder.<br/><br/>All of Whiskers cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, age appropriately vaccinated and tested for FELV/FIV prior to adoption.
