Madman has a name that doesn't quite match who he is at heart. This big, gray fellow has lived through a tough stretch—he lost his home, spent half a year surviving outside, and arrived at the shelter wary and unsure. For a while, he kept his distance, acting more like a feral cat just trying to get by than a companion. But once given time and safe space, he started remembering what home feels like. Now that Madman has had a chance to settle, his calmer side shines through. He loves a soft bed and never misses a meal. Show him a little kindness, and he answers with loud purrs, nonstop chatter, and the kind of dramatic belly rolls only a true house cat can pull off. He’s the kind of cat that needs a patient adopter—someone willing to let him take his time adjusting—but beneath the cautious exterior is a cat who’s eager to give and receive affection again. He’s not comfortable with dogs or young kids after what he’s been through, so a quiet, adult home is best. You’ll know when he trusts you—he won’t let you forget it, either.
