About Sakura

Sakura is a gentle, big tuxedo boy about a year and a half old. Shy at first, he prefers quiet homes and opens up with people who truly understand cats. If he knows you, belly scratches are his favorite, but it takes time for him to build that trust. Around other cats, Sakura has shown real friendliness—he’s become pals with every foster cat he’s lived with, so he should do well with feline company. He could be adopted alone or alongside his mother, Mama, but the key for him is a calm environment with a patient adopter. He’s never lived with dogs, but with a slow and careful introduction to a dog who’s comfortable with cats, he may adjust. Sakura is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and flea treated. His combination test was negative. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
