✨ Meet the charming Pershing, the street-smart sweetheart with a heart of gold! This little guy didn’t have the happy beginnings every kitten should enjoy. You see, he was tossed from a car onto a bustling highway, but fate intervened! A kind soul scooped him up near Pershing Street, and that's how this beauty got his name and a second chance at life. 🤗 Pershing is a sleek black kitty with wide, watchful eyes that tell a story of resilience and hope. He’s a gentle soul still learning to trust—definitely not a candidate for first-time cat owners! Quick movements and loud sounds can send him into a little retreat mode, and he might hiss just to communicate, *“I need my space!”* But don’t worry, it’s all just a show! 🎭 Give this precious boy the time and understanding he deserves, and you'll unveil the softer side of him—a treat lover, a brave little toy chaser, and a cuddly companion waiting to shine! He gets along well with other cats and even friendly dogs, slowly realizing that the world isn’t as scary as it once seemed. 🌍 What Pershing dreams of is a home filled with consistency, compassion, and someone who truly understands the feline heart. He needs a family who can see beyond his fears and help him transform into the confident companion he's destined to be. He’s an indoor-only darling, and his adoption comes with a contract that prohibits declawing—because paws deserve to remain intact! 🐾 He loves his toys and is utterly obsessed with treats, making him the star of any cat-astic playtime! 🎉 If you believe in second chances and understand that healing takes time, Pershing might just be your perfect match! Before jumping in, potential adopters must apply through the Buddy App. Don’t wait; help this sweet kitty find his forever home! 💖
