Grover is a striking black American Shorthair cat searching for a patient home willing to help him come out of his shell. After a tough beginning, Grover has spent over eighteen months in foster care, learning that people don’t always mean harm—though gaining his trust takes time. He's cautious around humans and usually finds a safe spot to hide during the day, but his curiosity draws him out to explore after dark and for meals. Grover doesn’t lash out; his reaction to fear is gentle withdrawal, not scratching or biting. He isn’t ready for close affection yet, but given time, steady kindness, and understanding, he could slowly open up to the comforts of a home and human contact. Grover gets along with other cats and dogs but isn’t a fit for homes with children. If you appreciate independent animals and have the patience for gradual progress, Grover could eventually reward you with quiet companionship. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his shots. If you think Grover might be the right fit, he's waiting in Glendale, AZ. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
