Ashton is a seven-year-old domestic short hair with a glossy black coat and a heart that runs deep for the person he bonds with. Bottle-fed from a young age, Ashton grew up learning to trust his person completely—though it takes him a while to get there. He needs a quiet, patient home with someone who will give him the space and security he needs to come out of his shell. Ashton’s loyalty is strong; once he opens up, he melts into a loving and affectionate companion who soaks up attention and comfort. Ashton does well with other cats, but tends to keep his circle small, so homes with dogs or children wouldn’t be a good fit. He’s house trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. Ashton is the sort of cat who rewards patience with a bond that doesn’t come easy—but lasts a lifetime. Your new best friend is just one click away.
