Paprika arrived with his sister Sage in April 2026, coming from another foster. At his former place, he loved to stretch out, lie on his back, and spend time with Sage. The move has set him back, and now he spends a lot of time hiding, making slow progress as he adjusts. Still, he shows warmth when he trusts, accepting pets or even being held. Paprika is gentle and affectionate at his own pace—a sweet cat needing time and patience to show his true self. A calm home, preferably with another cat or adopted alongside Sage, would suit him best. Rushing his comfort won’t help; he needs a family willing to let him bloom on his schedule. He’s comfortable around other cats and has lived with dogs in the past. Give him a chance, and his loyal nature will come through. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
