Phoenix's Story

Profile Information/Tell us more about this pet	Hi, my name is Phoenix and I am an older gentleman who is quite settled in my ways. (Aren’t we all). I am shy at first but once I warm up to you, I would love to snuggle you (on my terms). I am a quiet, chill cat who would love a quieter home. I probably don’t really wanna hang with young children or big scary dogs. I would love a patient new family that understand my need to take things a bit slower. My foster mom is helping me grow and understand that humans can be super nice people and in return I am happy to show her some extra lovin’ from time to time. I am happiest in my own space, doing things my way but I promise to show you love in return. ADOPTION FEE $100

Any additional comments regarding temperament that haven’t been covered by the questions above?	Phoenix got his name because he went through the fire prior to rescue, and now he has risen from the ashes to begin his new life of safety. He has adapted surprisingly quickly to a brand new environment, and has become increasingly trustful of me with every day. I am amazed at his resilience!
