Teddy's Story

Meet Teddy <br/><br/>Teddy is a gentle, sensitive boy who thrives in a calm, predictable home. He lives up to his name with his chonky cheeks and sweet personality. He may be shy at first, but with patience and a soft approach, he blossoms into an affectionate, quietly chatty companion who truly enjoys human connection. Once he feels safe, Teddy loves petting-especially full-body scratches-and will happily seek out attention in his own subtle way.<br/><br/>Teddy does best with people who move slowly and allow him to set the pace. He benefits from a peaceful environment and a dedicated safe space where he can retreat if he feels overwhelmed. For this reason, Teddy is best suited to an adult-only home or a home with older, calm teens who understand cat body language and respect boundaries.<br/><br/>Teddy can live with another cat, particularly one who is calm and respectful. He has successfully coexisted with another cat and does well with slow, thoughtful introductions, but he would also be content as an only cat. Teddy is a wonderful match for an adopter who values patience, routine, and building trust-he offers a deeply rewarding bond in return.<br/><br/>Important things to know about Teddy:<br/><br/> Needs patience during transitions - may hide initially in a new home, which is completely normal for him<br/><br/> Affection on his terms - loves scratches and closeness once trust is built, but appreciates choice and consent<br/><br/> Thrives in a calm, predictable environment - loud spaces or frequent activity can be overwhelming<br/><br/> Shy at first, deeply sweet once comfortable - forms strong bonds with his person<br/><br/> Can live with another calm, respectful cat - slow introductions are key<br/><br/>Teddy is currently relaxing in his foster home but if you're interested, please fill out an app and we will gladly arrange a meeting.
