About Triscuit

Triscuit is a striking Maine Coon mix with a long, buff coat and an undeniable bond with his mom, Lyla. You’ll often catch them curled up together, content in their own little world. Both have a certain presence, but Triscuit’s independent streak stands out when meeting new people—he’ll keep his distance until he feels safe. Volunteers say he’s sweet once you’ve earned his trust, but it might take some patience and quiet. Triscuit could be adopted with Lyla or on his own; either way, he needs a calm, loving household and someone willing to give him time to settle in. He does well with other cats and thrives in a predictable, gentle environment. Only adopters in lower SW Connecticut will be considered. Give him the chance to show you all the quirk that lies beneath the surface. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
