Compass C16446

Hi My name is Compass ! I'm from Minnesota! From his foster: Meet Compass! Compass is a playful, timid yet curious little man. Compass loves to play. He'll even suspend his fear of people in order to play with the ever-tantalizing string toy. After 1-2 months in his foster home, Compass has shown great progress (and promise!) towards being comfortable with people. Day by day, he gets a little closer to me or stays a little longer in my presence. He is responsive to my voice. That said, Compass is still very much scared of people. Potential adopters need to know that he is currently not affectionate and nowhere near a "lap cat. With time, Compass could get there, but a future family should not adopt Compass if they are counting on him to become affectionate. His future family needs to be ok with him as is he is today. While Compass is fearful of people, he loves other cats. He is best friends with Tape, who is also available for adoption. He loves to initiate play and snuggle with her. Other considerations: Compass had a rough life before coming to The Bond Between. His future family needs to be patient and allow Compass all the space and time he needs to adjust. Compass shows fear-based aggression when he feels cornered or a person gets too close. He hisses and feigns scratching (he'll strike with his paw but does not extend his nails). He should not live with young kids. I also feel a home with more than a couple people would not be best for him, given how timid he is and how long it takes him to adjust. While I believe Compass would adjust to a brand new environment and other cat(s), his friend Tape would struggle on her own. In an ideal world, a future family would want to adopt both Compass and Tape so they can live out their best lives together. As said earlier, Compass loooves toys. All toys are fun to him. He also loves spending time in cat trees (he favors the very top but will make an exception for a hammock/bowl). He loves looking out the window and tracking birds, bunnies and other passerby. Compass has been great with the litter box since day 1! If Compass sounds like the right fit for you, fill out an application!
