Michael's Story
Meet Michael <br/><br/>Michael is a handsome, independent gentleman with a discerning heart. He’s very particular about his people and tends to bond most closely with women, choosing his favorites carefully and loving them deeply. While he has a truly sweet and affectionate side, he doesn’t show it to just anyone — you have to earn the privilege of seeing his softer side.<br/><br/>Michael prefers a calm environment where he can feel safe and in control. When he’s startled or unsure, he’ll retreat to a cozy hiding spot until he feels comfortable again. If he’s especially scared or around someone he doesn’t trust, he will hiss and growl — it’s simply his way of setting boundaries and asking for space.<br/><br/>Because of his independent nature and preference for observing before engaging, he may thrive as a barn cat, where he can have space, purpose, and companionship on his own terms.<br/><br/>With patience, understanding, and respect for his boundaries, Michael’s loyal and loving personality truly shines. For the right person, he’s not just a cat — he’s a devoted companion who chooses you back.
