About Monkey

Monkey is a very shy and cautious young cat who prefers to hang back around people but thrives in the company of other cats. He shows no signs of aggression, enjoys playing with toys, and responds well when food is offered—he knows his name and will venture out to join the action when prompted by a snack. While he doesn't come forward for affection yet, Monkey quietly shares space and is content to play in the room when someone he trusts is present. His foster describes him as watchful and sweet but in need of a calm, patient adopter. Monkey is in a bustling foster home with lots of feline companions, but he would really benefit from a quieter household with someone who can give him time and space to build trust at his own pace. Once he feels secure, there’s every chance he’ll grow more confident and affectionate. Born June 3rd, Monkey is a Gemini—so expect a cat with both a playful and thoughtful side. He is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for someone willing to earn his trust. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
