Frederick

What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy! I am a cat that is in need of a lap! I can't wait to be your new lap cat. I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am. I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace. I am looking for a home with a patient person. I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home. I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them. Frederick tolerates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced. A volunteer writes: Since arriving at the Care Center, Frederick has been doing everything right. He's making friends with staff and volunteers, he's leaning in for cheek rubs, and he's accepting treats with patience and gentleness. All this handsome young guy needs now is the right potential adopter to fall in love with him and make him the forever pet he deserves to be. Our behavior team deemed Frederick to be shy, calm, sweet, and affectionate, and he has everything going for him in terms of being a beloved best pal, couch buddy, and snuggle bug.
