About Knox

Knox is around a year and a half old, with a striking, silky long black coat and a famously shy demeanor. Start slow with Knox; he's reserved with strangers, but when he gets comfortable, he really leans into petting and brushing sessions. His sidekick, Connery, is an orange tabby who’s outgoing, loves people, and never says no to a belly rub. These two are a bonded pair and do best together. They will thrive in a quiet household with patient adopters who understand that Knox needs time to open up. If you’re looking for an affectionate duo—one social, one a little more cautious—Knox and Connery deserve a soft landing. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
