What are you waiting for? Apply today! Asteroid is a young American Shorthair with a gentle spirit, currently looking for a quiet, patient home. He came to the rescue at just 8 weeks old, suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection, and was understandably terrified of people and new situations. With the dedicated care of his foster, he has made great progress—he’s now comfortable in the house, enjoys the company of other kittens, and is fully litterbox trained. Although Asteroid loves sneaking into bed for secret cuddle sessions and sometimes accepts gentle pets, he is still wary about people getting too close or feeling cornered. His journey has clearly left an impact, so he needs adopters who can give him space and time to continue his healing. A quiet home, where affection and patience are abundant, would help Asteroid blossom and realize that love is safe and freely given. Did you know? Asteroid is an Aquarius, often known for their gentle but independent nature—fitting for his journey so far. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
