PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL

This specific kitty isn't available for adoption at this time, but just because he/she isn’t brave or comfortable enough to come out of his/her shell quite yet doesn't mean that we don’t want to show off a pretty face AND maybe generate some interest in some of our adoptable residents. At Crash’s we believe in allowing each of our cats to set their own pace. We don’t force them into the spotlight, or put them into situations where they may feel frightened so as not to elicit the ‘fight, flight, or flee’ responses. It is important to us that each individual of the feline kind is allowed to explore our free-roaming facility as he or she sees fit, so we provide a multitude of different types of cozy cubbies, tall perches, and catwalks, so that favorite hiding spots and vantage points can be determined by each individual. Although we are all about offering reassuring pets and gentle touches, we understand that some of our Crash Cats have been out on the mean streets for too long without non-threatening human interaction, so it is important to us not to force the issue. So many of our timid—and even terrified—residents have literally blossomed by simply observing how their fellow felines give and receive attention and affection, seeking us out for a reassuring head rub or a walk-by graze of fur meeting an unsuspecting pant leg:) We don’t have time limits here, so if it takes months or even years for one of ours to settle in and fully embrace what it means to be part of our population, so be it. <br/>So we urge you to cruise through our other Adoptable Pet Listings and read through the bios and storied written; ya never know who you may consider letting into your heart—and home.<br/><br/>Punxsutawney Phil is FIV+ and only has 2 teeth left; he had a really rough life prior to his rescue and entrance into our program on Groundhog Day, 2024. At the time pf this posting, our shelter manager had these observations to make:<br/>"Sweet Punxy Phil is still so shy. He tends to shy away from everyone and stays in a cubby where he just feels most secure. I make it a point to spend time with him daily, and he is actually very sweet, and just wants you to talk quietly to him and give him lots of pets. From what we have seen he does get along with the other cats, and may do best with a cuddle buddy. It may take him longer to find the perfect family, and I feel he would do best either with another quieter cat, or with his own human that he can grow to trust and curl up with."<br/><br/>We will keep you updated on his progress, and in the meantime, send good vibes his way!
