Meet Corey, a cat who has come a long way since leaving the streets. After about a year in rescue, Corey has started to discover that people aren’t as frightening as he once thought. He didn’t get the early socialization that makes some cats instantly affectionate, so he’s learning—step by step—what it means to be a companion. Volunteers have seen real progress as Corey grows more comfortable with gentle petting and interaction. This is the kind of cat who will reward consistent patience with slow-building trust. Corey is good with other cats and moves around confidently when people aren’t crowded around. He’ll do best in a calm, understanding home, with space and cozy places for retreat. He has the makings of a great cat for someone who appreciates the quiet satisfaction of helping a shy animal settle in and blossom. Click apply to start the adoption process.
