Pal (Spirit Cat)

Pal came to MHS as a stray, and now he’s looking for a patient, understanding home. She’s a classic spirit cat—comfortable being around people but happiest with a wide personal bubble where he can quietly observe. She’ll likely bond more quickly with another cat than with a human, so a feline friend in the home could really help her feel secure. While he may warm up over time, it’s also possible she’ll prefer to remain a more independent, watch-from-afar kind of companion.<br/><br/>To help Pal adjust, she should begin in a small, quiet room with access to food, water, a litter box, and a safe hiding space. A calm routine and low-pressure interaction will help her feel safe and reduce stress. Spirit cats take longer to settle in, so giving him 3–4 weeks before expanding his space will give her the steady, predictable environment he needs to decompress and thrive.
