Duke came to PAWS-OK after his previous adopter surrendered him. He didn't trust people much at first and remains a shy cat, but life in foster care has helped him slowly warm up. Duke still needs time and patience—he'd do best with someone who knows cats and has experience helping shy cats feel safe. Gaining Duke's trust will take effort, but once he's comfortable, he'll appreciate gentle companionship and a quiet household. He does well with other cats, which could help build his confidence. Give him a calm and understanding environment, and he'll surprise you with small steps forward. Click apply to start the adoption process.
