Louie lived for a while on his own in an old barn, always keeping his distance and wary of humans, likely because of a rough patch—when he first showed up, he was thin with blood and bite wounds around his neck. Slowly, he learned that people bring food and aren't so bad, and now he’s been through the vet: neutered, vaccinated, and fully treated for parasites and injuries. These days, Louie is thriving in his enclosure. He’ll let people get near, though he still doesn’t want to be touched yet. He uses his litter box without fail, plays with toys, and chats at feeding time. Louie also gets along with the other cats nearby. What he needs now is a patient, calm adopter who won’t rush him and can give him the time it takes to trust. Ready to give Louie the special kind of home he truly deserves?
