Bobby Flay is not your typical bold, goofy orange tabby. He's a quieter soul who takes his time learning that a new place, and new people, are safe. Bobby missed some important early socialization as a kitten, so trust doesn't come instantly for him. When he first arrives home, he will likely spend some time hiding and observing. This is completely normal for Bobby, and his adopter should expect that he may need a week or more to start feeling comfortable. The Rule of 3's is especially important for him. What Bobby needs most is a calm, cat-savvy home with someone patient enough to let him move at his own pace. Once he settles in and realizes he's safe, Bobby begins to quietly integrate into the household. He'll start appearing nearby, watching what you're doing, and eventually approaching for gentle pets when he's ready. His affection is soft and genuine, the kind that feels earned. Bobby does well with other cats and would likely enjoy a confident feline friend. He also doesn't mind respectful dogs. A quieter home with older kids is ideal, as a lot of noise and constant activity may cause him to retreat. For the right person, Bobby will become a kind, gentle companion who simply needed a little extra patience to feel at home. Apply to adopt at www.sfcva.org
