Slingshot is a young cat who's still figuring people out. He showed up to the shelter with hardly any experience around humans and spends his days watching from a quiet corner, hesitant to engage. Every small sign of curiosity—a relaxed tail, a slow blink—is a small win. If you've worked with shy or semi-feral cats or enjoy earning an animal's trust little by little, Slingshot could be your project. He'll need a calm home, a safe retreat of his own, and a person who values progress over perfection. He won’t be your lap cat, but he deserves a place where he can feel safe and move at his own pace. If you root for the undercat, Slingshot might be the companion to win your heart—quietly and in his own time. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
