Hermes arrived with his sister Hera after being rescued as a young kitten. He’s still working through his shyness but is making slow, steady progress. Hera has since found her home, leaving Hermes to adjust at his own pace. In the shelter, he prefers gentle company and feels more confident around other cats, especially calm kittens or young cats. Given attention and patience, Hermes is expected to open up further and show his affectionate, playful side. He needs a home with someone understanding who won’t rush him and will let him settle in on his terms. If you have a gentle companion cat and can give Hermes time, you’ll likely get to watch a shy boy blossom into a trusting, friendly companion. Your patience will make all the difference.
