PARKER's Story

Parker and August arrived as very scared, feral kittens who weren't sure what to think about people. They went to foster care, where Parker slowly learned that humans can be pretty okay after all. Parker is still a worried boy, so he will need a calm, patient home where his new people understand that trust takes time. A friendly, confident kitty friend (or two!) will help show them the ropes and reassure them that they are safe and loved. With plenty of patience, gentle encouragement, and consistency, Parker will continue to make progress at his own pace.<br/><br/>This sweet boy is looking for adopters who believe in giving shy kitties the time they need to bloom. August is terrified. Once you can pick August up, she will bury her head into the crook of your arm. It is going to take a special person to help this little girl settle into her home. TJO feline staff will support their adopters in integrating these kittens into their home. Watching them gain confidence and learn to trust will be a truly rewarding journey. OTHER PETS: They must have a social kitty or two to play with and to learn from. OWNER EXPERIENCE: Their adopters must have experience with scared / worried kitties and their socialization. KIDS: Their adopters must be older teens and adults only. ACTIVITY LEVEL: They are currently couch potatoes. They do not know how to play. They have no idea what they are missing out on. A patient adopter and social kitty friends will be wonderful for them. VETERINARY CARE: They looking forward to meeting their new vet and receiving regular vet care. LEVEL OF SOCIALIZATION: They are in need of a home where their new family is comfortable helping a scared kitty to blossom. GROOMING: They take good care of their coats. Soft brushing is a great bonding activity for kitties and their humans.
