About Eric

Eric arrived with his mom and sister, and still takes time to feel at ease around people. He enjoys gentle petting once he feels comfortable and needs a patient adopter to help him build trust. Toys are a big part of his day—he loves batting them around and wrestling with his sister. Being around other cats is no problem for Eric, and he finds some comfort in their company. At this stage, he hasn't had much experience with dogs or children. A calm, understanding home will give Eric the safety he seeks and space to come out of his shell. Eric was born March 27, making him an Aries, and you might notice his playful, spirited streak once he gets settled. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
