Blackburn came in as an injured stray from a Santa Fe neighborhood, but he’s not letting a rough start hold him back. He’s a large, handsome tabby with a unique kinked tail—most of which had to be amputated early on. His spirit hasn’t suffered, though he is on the shy side and will do best in a home that gives him ample time to decompress and adjust. Blackburn really lights up around other cats, so if you have one hoping for a buddy, he could be your perfect match. He’s looking for adopters who understand the value of patience and a slow approach as he builds trust. If you already have a cat at home, Blackburn may make a wonderful friend for them.
