About Monty

Monty was a bundle of nerves when he arrived at Quirky Cat Club. He’s four years old, short-haired, and his black coat makes him look a bit mysterious, but in truth he’s a gentle, nervous type who craves reassurance. Monty is especially wary of his surroundings and startles easily, preferring the safety of his own space after being picked on by bolder cats. Yet, despite this caution, he shows real longing for a friend—he’ll pace and call out, hoping someone will answer. His ideal home is on the quiet side, with calm routines and patient people who understand that trust must be earned at Monty’s pace. The best match would be someone who could welcome Monty along with his current feline buddy, Yip, since this partnership helps him open up. If that isn’t possible, Monty should have another kind, cat-friendly housemate. Homes with lots of noise or hustle won’t do him any favors. He’s neutered, house trained, and up to date on vaccines. Given a gentle environment, Monty is ready to try new beginnings in Maple Shade, NJ. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
