Kairo

Meet Kairo!<br/><br/>This big fluffernutter is about three years old and around eight pounds. <br/><br/>Kairo is a man of mystery and intrigue. With how stunningly handsome he is, you'd think he came from some wealthy heiress and previously lived a life of luxury. Nope, he was found roaming the streets of New Bedford! No collar, no tags, no microchip. Whatever he has been through, it has seemingly been a little too much for him. Initially angry when he first came in, he has since settled into a quiet depression. He'll sit in the corner and make himself as small as possible in hopes that he'll go unnoticed. He'll shake as soon as someone starts touching him. If you try to pick him up, he freezes and pretends that he's a stuffed animal. He eats, he drinks, he uses the bathroom, but he has zero interest in being social...<br/><br/>With people, that is. Once we moved him into a room with other cats, he picked the first whiskers he saw and deemed them his emotional support. More often that not he can be found squeezed into the smallest possible space behind his roommate, Igor. We're not going to argue, whatever gives him some peace as he adjusts to life at the shelter! <br/><br/>We want to make it clear that at the moment, Kairo is not an outgoing boy. He doesn't try to fight you, he'll just sit there and tolerate being touched until you're done. He's not going to be greeting you at the door or making biscuits on your lap, he's going to need a lot of time to settle in and feel safe in his new home. He almost certainly has potential to be a sweetheart, but from what we've seen, he's just very scared. As those familiar with felines know, cats are very sensitive to change and can become stressed about it easily. Kairo is no different. If you're hoping for a gorgeous kitty with a big personality, he's not going to be your guy. If you have time to offer being the emotional support for your pet and the patience to see him slowly crawl out of his shell, you may be his person!<br/><br/>Due to his skittish nature, we're going to ask that he go to a home with no dogs, and no kids. He MUST go to a home with at least one other cat but a multi-cat household would be preferable. He does not know the concept of personal space.
