Licorice is a 2-year-old black beauty with a big heart. 🖤 Adopted as a kitten, he was later labeled as “aggressive” when he became scared and unsure in his environment. Passed to another home, Licorice was so frightened that he hid in the ceiling — not out of meanness, but pure fear. When he finally returned to APA and entered foster care, his true personality shined almost immediately. Gentle. Loving. Sweet. 💕 He bonded with his foster parents right away and showed everyone that he is truly a sweetheart. Licorice isn’t aggressive — he just needs patience, stability, and someone who understands that some cats take time to feel safe. In the right home, he will be a loyal and loving companion. 🖤 If you’re ready to give this beautiful “black panther” the forever home he deserves, Licorice is waiting.
