Horizon’s background isn’t known, but he’s already making an impression. He’s got some medical needs, which the staff will be happy to discuss when you meet him in person. At first, Horizon might seem tense and prefers to hang back—he’ll gently sniff treats and allow slow, patient petting on his head, cheek, or along his back. He can give a quick hiss if he’s unsure, then relaxes a bit and takes comfort in attention. Pick-ups haven’t been tried because of his current health. More than anything, Horizon thrives on gentle cheek and chin scratches. He’s interactive and seems to enjoy engaging with people. He’s tolerant of being handled and open to all-over petting, but he’d do well with adopters who understand cats need time to settle in. His behavior is a good match for anyone with a basic grasp of cat signals, or average cat experience. You’ll help him blossom at his own pace. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
