Asteroid arrived at the rescue as a frightened eight-week-old kitten with a rough start and a bad upper respiratory infection. He’s spent months growing into a young cat who loves to play with other kittens and navigates the house with growing confidence. While Asteroid is fully litterbox trained and healthy, he’s still wary of people, freezing up when approached too quickly and showing clear signs of past hardships. Still, he sneaks in for gentle pets and nighttime snuggles when things are quiet—he wants affection, but isn’t sure it’s safe to ask for it. Asteroid needs a calm and understanding home, ideally without a lot of hustle and bustle, where he can keep blossoming at his own pace. Another friendly cat would be great company and a source of comfort. He gets along with other cats and has shown he can build trust, but adopters must be patient and gentle—no forcing, just steady kindness. Asteroid is neutered, microchipped, and his vaccinations are current. This private little Aquarius is looking for that special person who will let him come out of his shell when he’s ready. If you have a soft spot for the shy types, Asteroid could be your perfect project. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
