Bugg is still adjusting to all the changes around him, and right now he is approaching the world with cautious, wide-eyed curiosity. Shelter life has understandably been overwhelming for this sensitive guy, so he has spent much of his time tucked safely into his cubby watching everything carefully. Even so, he has allowed handling and care without issue, quietly tolerating exams and attention while he figures out who he can trust. Cats like Bugg often need a little extra patience at first, but those gentle souls can form incredibly meaningful bonds once they finally feel safe. Bugg is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can settle in at his own pace and discover that life does not always have to feel so overwhelming. He may never be the cat demanding attention from the center of the room right away, but there is something very special about earning the trust of a shy cat and watching their personality slowly bloom over time. The right adopter will understand that every tiny sign of comfort from Bugg, whether it is relaxing nearby, leaning into pets, or simply choosing to stay close, will feel like a huge victory worth celebrating. All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter's care.
