Punkin is a sweet adult cat who’s just lost the only home he’s ever known. His previous owner, a retired woman, had to move somewhere that didn’t allow pets after surgery, so Punkin found himself in need of a second chance. This has left him understandably shy—he’ll need a patient adopter with a quiet, steady home who will let him settle in at his own pace. Punkin prefers to be the only animal in the house and isn’t comfortable around other cats. He does best as a single pet, where there’s no need to compete for attention or territory. He’d thrive with someone who wants a calm, reserved companion and can provide a low-stress environment. Punkin is currently overweight, so he’ll benefit from gentle encouragement to become more active alongside a slow, guided diet. With time, routine, and kindness, he’s ready to show how loyal and comforting he can be. If you’re ready to help a shy cat start over, Punkin is waiting in Oxford, MS.
