Shortbread is a big, soft tabby with a gentle spirit who seems happiest when you’re around to chat. He isn’t needy—he just likes company and will gladly share stories while giving you space to get things done. Shortbread does best in a calm, quiet home with no young kids, and he gravitates toward other cats. Dogs, especially large ones, make him nervous, so a feline-friendly environment is best. While not a lap cat, Shortbread is easygoing and cooperative, though he prefers his regular grooming sessions stay to his lovely long fur. He’s not a fan of claw trims, so trips to the groomer work out better for everyone. With change, he can get skittish, so patient, experienced adopters who understand his need for time and gentle handling will set him up to thrive. Shortbread is looking for someone kind and steady, who appreciates quiet companionship and understands the charm of a cat with a lot to say. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
