About Alan

Alan is still settling in, and the transition to the shelter has left him understandably nervous. Given a calm space and patience, Alan starts to show he wants attention and affection. In his foster home, he responded to gentle care with a soft, lovely purr, especially if you spend some quiet time with him. He gets along well with other friendly adult cats and seems to find comfort in their company. Alan will do best with someone who can move at his pace and enjoys the challenge and reward of earning the trust of a shy cat. If you’ve got a patient, kind heart and a steady hand, Alan could become a wonderful companion. Remember, adopting a cat like Alan is a long-term commitment, since cats often live up to 20 years. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
