Flint is a handsome young cat with a cautious streak, shaped by his early months spent surviving outside. His time outdoors left him wary of people and uncertain about new places. Flint’s go-to approach is to hiss first and hesitate, but that front hides a kitten who wants to feel safe. He isn’t aggressive—if given the chance, he melts under gentle pets, blinking his eyes and showing his softer side. Flint’s foster notes a funny push-pull vibe: he acts tough, but secretly craves attention, especially if snacks like Churu are involved. When Flint relaxes, he stretches out like a miniature black panther, lounging atop cat towers. He enjoys the company of other cats and would thrive as a companion for a social, well-adjusted feline. He’ll likely bond with another cat much quicker than with people, so a home looking for a friend for their current cat is ideal. Flint doesn’t do well with dogs, and a quiet, experienced cat home without young children will suit him best. He just needs patience and understanding; with time, he’ll show his sweet, gentle nature. Flint is about 9 months old, fully neutered, dewormed, treated for fleas, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Also, Flint’s birthday puts him under the sign of Gemini—curious and clever at heart. Ready to give a shy guy a new start? Click apply to start the adoption process.
