Cornelius

Meet Cornelius, affectionately nicknamed “Cornie”! This BIG, handsome white and gray boy may be a little shy, but underneath that quiet exterior is an absolute sweetheart who LOVES other cats.<br/><br/>Cornelius was transferred to Pet Angel from Bay County Animal Control as a kitten. All of his littermates had been adopted, and Cornelius was not doing well as a single kitten. He became increasingly recluse without other cats around, so he came to Pet Angel to join Thumbelina, who he grew up with.<br/><br/>Cornelius LOVED Thumbelina from the moment he met her. He practically LEAPT out of his cage, wrapped his paws around her neck, and immediately started giving her kisses! The two grew up together and were once inseparable, but as they've gotten older, they've become more independent and are no longer a bonded pair.<br/><br/>While Cornelius no longer needs Thumbelina specifically, he absolutely DOES need other cats in his future home. In fact, other cats are one of the most important things in the world to Cornie. He LOVES cuddling with his cat roommates, curling up beside them, and spending time with his feline friends. He is happiest when he has other cats around him.<br/><br/>Cornelius is a very shy boy, especially when meeting someone new. He needs time to warm up and would not do well being thrown into a busy, active household. He is looking for a quiet, peaceful home where he can take things at his own pace.<br/><br/>Cornie does not enjoy being held or picked up, but once he trusts you, he absolutely loves being pet — on HIS terms, of course! He is the kind of cat who may need you to earn his trust rather than expecting him to immediately come running for attention. He needs an owner who is okay with a cat that doesn't want to be held or picked up, and will respect that. Cornelius also does not do well with traveling. He will need a human who will brave Cornie's nerves for vet visits so he can always be healthy, but other than vet visits will keep him at home and won't travel with him. <br/><br/>And then there is the WORMIE STICK.<br/><br/>Cornelius is a FREAK for his wormie stick toy. Seriously. Put a wormie stick toy in front of this shy boy and suddenly you get to see a completely different Cornelius! He LOVES chasing it, playing with it, and showing off his playful side. You HAVE to keep the stick toy away unless you're able to watch him with it because he WILL drag it off and try to eat it. He is violently addicted to the wormie stick toy!<br/><br/>He is also obsessed with hidey holes and absolutely LOVES his circle tunnel. If there is a cozy little place to hide, Cornie will find it. His ideal home would have plenty of cozy spaces where he can retreat when he needs some quiet time, along with lots of opportunities for play.<br/><br/>Cornelius is a VERY big boy with a very soft heart. He isn't going to be the cat who immediately jumps into your lap, but for the person willing to give him the time and space he needs, he has so much love to give.<br/><br/>Cornelius needs a strictly indoor-only, quiet home with other cats. He cannot be the only cat in the home. He would not do well with young children or dogs, and an active, busy household would not be a good fit for him.<br/><br/>Cornelius is fixed, microchipped, up to date on all his shots, and FIV/FELV negative.<br/><br/>If you have a quiet home, other friendly cats, and plenty of patience for a shy boy who loves to cuddle with his feline friends and absolutely loses his mind over a wormie toy, Cornelius may be your perfect match!<br/><br/>To get started on the process to meet this sweet boy, submit an application at https://petangeladoption.com/adopt-a-cat
