About Murray: I'm a shy boy but I am learning to trust. I have beautiful gold eyes and big soft ears that I love to have scratched. I am the cautious one in my little family and need other confident kittens or an adult cat(s) around for me to gain my confidence. I watch them to learn if it's ok to trust you. It's very important for me to have that dynamic. I'm food motivated so with a little patience I will learn that you are a positive thing for me. Then I'll let you pet me and love me before and after meals, and eventually I will come for belly rubs if the other cats are getting loves too. I would do really d well with an older adult cat that is very nurturing and cuddly. I like to cuddle with them. I like to play and run all around the house. I really like my cat tree where I can be up high and watch what's going on below. I do not like to be picked up and held yet but am showing signs that I will eventually tolerate it for short periods. (Please be aware, some cats do not like to be held or picked up regardless of their upbringing. A cat is a cat and that is that.) I would do best with someone who has experience with shy cats and understand I just need some time and patience. My foster mom gives me lots of love when I ask for it now and she understands that sometimes I really just wanna do my own thing. If you have a quiet home with room for more than one cat I will grow into a very loving and loyal friend. I have been around a doggie. Honestly, not my favorite thing. This doggie isn't very big and he doesn't chase me so I keep an eye on him, growl a little when he gets too close. Other than that I think I can learn to tolerate him. Murray has been neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and has received age appropriate vaccinations. (His brothers are Alex and Bruno.)
