About Bill

Bill takes time to trust people and prefers keeping his distance until he feels safe. He’s one of those cats who wants to be near you, but doesn’t want a lot of hands-on attention — at least, not until you’ve earned it. If you respect his boundaries and let him settle at his own pace, Bill will slowly warm up. He does best with patient humans who understand a cautious cat needs consistency, not pressure. Bill truly enjoys the company of other cats and feels safest with a feline companion to show him the world isn’t so scary. He’d thrive in a home with another friendly cat to help him gain confidence around people. Quiet homes with people who understand shy cats will suit him best. Bill’s no lap cat yet, but there’s something rewarding about watching him relax and discover that humans can be pretty great. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
