Simon is a big, gorgeous grey fellow with an even bigger heart. This gentle, soft-hearted boy is looking for a calm and patient home where he can blossom at his own pace. While shy at first, Simon truly just wants to be loved. Even when he’s feeling nervous and trying to retreat, a gentle touch on his lower back will often make him flop over and ask for more pets. He’ll roll onto his back, purring up a storm while soaking up affection — before suddenly remembering to be cautious again and retreating to one of his safe spots to quietly watch from afar. Simon doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. His big, soulful eyes seem to melt right into you as he stares, clearly wanting love while still learning how to be brave enough to trust it. Simon has lived with both dogs and cats his whole life and does very well with them. He often finds comfort snuggling close to his furry friends for reassurance. In a new home, Simon may spend the first few days tucked safely in a quiet corner, carefully observing the world around him. But patience, gentle encouragement, and even a wand toy offered from a respectful distance can work wonders in helping him come out of his shell. Simon would thrive in a peaceful home with adopters who understand that confidence takes time. A quiet environment, predictable routine, and lots of gentle love will help him continue building trust and feeling safe. If you believe the very best friendships are built slowly, patiently, and on a foundation of trust, Simon may just be your perfect match.
