About Waffle

Waffle comes from a tight-knit group of cats who lost their longtime caretaker and have spent most of their lives outdoors with minimal human interaction. These cats are deeply bonded to each other and, as a result, must be adopted in pairs—they find more security in each other's company than with people at this stage. Waffle and his companions are not the type who will saunter over for pets; instead, they'll likely keep their distance, hide, or cautiously check things out from a safe spot. Some may accept a brief, careful touch, but only on their terms. Adopters for Waffle need to be especially patient and comfortable letting trust build slowly over time. He does best in a calm home with realistic expectations, where small signs of progress—like curiosity or play—are seen as big victories. Watching a shy cat open up is quiet work, but also deeply rewarding for those who understand the pace. Same-day adoptions aren’t available for Waffle, and you'll likely be asked to connect with the rescue staff to make sure it's a good match.
