Yam's Story
Yam (aka Yammy Yams) is one awesome (and incredibly handsome!) boy with a sweet personality that's impossible not to love. He's always happy to come over for pets and attention, loves being brushed, never turns down a Churu treat, and has a great time chasing interactive toys. He's also quite the ladies' man, often surrounded by the female cats in his room (we can't blame them... have you seen him?).<br/><br/>While Yam is friendly and affectionate, he's also a sensitive guy who is still building his confidence. In new situations, he can be a little cautious, and like many cats, he can become overstimulated if the petting goes on a little too long. When that happens, he may give a gentle nip to let you know he's had enough. Thanks to the patience and dedication of our Shy Angels Socialization Team, he's making wonderful progress learning more appropriate ways to communicate his boundaries, and we're so proud of how far he's come.<br/><br/>Yam would do best in a calm, child-free, dog-free home with experienced adopters who understand cat body language and appreciate that patience and consistency help sensitive cats thrive. In return, you'll gain a wonderful companion with so much love to give. With someone who respects his boundaries and allows him to continue growing at his own pace, we know Yam will blossom into an incredible lifelong friend.<br/><br/>Yam is part of our Shy Angels Socialization Program and will require a meeting with a Shy Angels team member before his adoption is finalized.<br/><br/>Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!<br/><br/>***FKA = Formerly Known As
