Ivan and Sigmund are Bonded Buddies; they'll be adopted as a pair

- Arrived as an undersocialized kitten but has blossomed in a foster home; looking for people who will give him time to settle in and continue to work with him on confidence-building so he can live his best life

- Very playful and loves wand toys, chasing his kitten buddy and looking out windows

- More shy than his buddy and just recently begun to enjoy slow, gentle pets when he's tired

- Enjoys sitting next to you or near you

- Loves tube treats such as Churu, and those would be a great way to bond with him!

- May do best in a more mature home as he continues to gain confidence

This cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen good progress here at the ARL, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!
