Royal is a striking black cat with soft, medium-length fur and eyes the color of gold coins. He’s around two and a half years old and tends to watch new people quietly from a safe spot. Royal is very shy and prefers to take his time before deciding you’re trustworthy. If your home is calm and you understand that some cats need to come out of their shell gradually, Royal may start to reveal his gentle side over time. He isn’t a cat who will bounce into your lap on the first day—instead, he appreciates patience and respect for his boundaries while he learns to feel safe. Royal gets along well with other cats and dogs, but would not be a match for young children or noisy environments. He’s been waiting for a quiet, loving place to finally call his own.
