Brooks is a young cat who's had a rough start. After being part of a hoarding situation and then left outside with a group of other cats, he’s understandably wary of people. There isn’t a mean streak in him—he’s gentle, just skittish, and needs time to feel safe. Brooks won’t run over for attention or curl up in laps just yet, but he’s coming around bit by bit. The right adopter will be someone calm and patient, prepared to give him the space and time he needs to trust. Brooks gets along with other cats and would do well in a home with at least one friendly feline who can help show him that people aren’t so bad. Ready to give Brooks that shot at a better life? They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
