CRUISE – A1121932

***SAFE 08/25/17***A volunteer writes: Right now, after just a few days at the Care Center, Cruise is still too shy to sing his own praises. But I’ve taken a shine to this handsome gray boy, so I’ll do it for him. He’s very quiet and calm, something our intake and behavior staff also noted. While he accepts pettings and is fine with being touched, right now he prefers to hang back on his own rather than solicit attention from visitors and volunteers. His curious eyes and Yoda ears make him even more endearing, and he’s very alert, watching all the activity in the room. He is a former house cat, so all Cruise needs is an understanding pet parent who knows he needs a little time to blossom. If you’re the kind of cat lover who understands that some of the best kitties need time to get their bearings, than I urge you to consider adopting our boy Cruise.
