Tinsel is a 1.5-year-old orange tabby with a short coat and a naturally gentle, timid temperament. He prefers to observe the world quietly while deciding when to approach. Tinsel has made progress in foster care, starting to show affection through calm companionship and enjoying the company of gentle people. He especially loves a good belly rub once he feels comfortable. Tinsel gets along with other cats and would do best somewhere calm, with a patient adopter who understands the reward of gaining a shy cat’s trust. He does have a Grade 3 heart murmur, so his adopter should be mindful and dedicated to his ongoing well-being. As a Sagittarius, Tinsel’s gentle curiosity might come out in small adventures around the house once he settles in. Ready to welcome a quiet friend who blossoms on his own time? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
