About Germany

Germany is a gentle soul finding his footing in a sometimes overwhelming world. When he first arrived, Germany kept to himself, unsure about his new environment. Thanks to the patient care of volunteers, he’s come out of his shell—now he’s often the one waiting at the front of his space, ready for pets and attention. Germany enjoys a quiet routine and is happiest lounging near his favorite person, especially if curling up for long naps is on the agenda. He’s already declawed (before coming to the rescue), so he’s looking for a calm, indoor-only home where he can feel both safe and relaxed. He gets along well with other cats and could adjust to a home with older children who give him gentle respect and space as he grows in confidence. Quiet, steady companionship is what Germany craves most. Ready to make him part of your peaceful home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
