Hi, I’m Dior — a soft-spoken kind of guy just looking for someone patient enough to see me for who I really am. I’m an orange tabby with a heart that’s a little guarded, but I promise there's love in there — it just takes time to come out. I’m what you’d call a shy soul. New people and new places make me nervous, so I tend to hide under beds, couches, blankets… anywhere I can feel safe while I figure things out. But if you’re calm and patient with me, I do warm up — and when I do, cheek and head pets are my absolute favorite! I’m not into toys, and I’m not a lap cat. Please don’t try to pick me up — that really stresses me out. I’d do best in a quiet home without small children, where I can be my low-key self and come out on my own terms. You might not see much of me during the day, rather I’m the kind of cat who will quietly pad around at night, exploring when the world is quiet. One thing I do love? Other cats. I feel safest around feline friends, and I’d really love to have a confident kitty buddy to help show me the ropes. I’m neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, microchipped, and litter trained — ready to settle into a home where I can go slow and be accepted just as I am. If you’ve got a soft spot for the shy ones and a home that’s more “quiet sanctuary” than “busy playground,” I’d love the chance to grow with you. You can reach out to the shelter at 989-348-4117 or avascares2@gmail.com with questions, or just stop on by during their business hours of 10AM to 6PM, Tuesday through Saturday. I'll be here, waiting for you!
