About Sterling

Sterling takes his time to trust, but once he does, he turns into a dedicated lap cat. He loves giving gentle head butts and drools when he’s especially happy. Sterling is so eager for closeness that it's tough to snap a picture—he rushes over as soon as you come near. He’ll do best in a calm, quiet home with someone patient who can let him warm up at his own pace. He seems to feel safer around women and is uncomfortable around men, so a female adopter may be a better match. He gets along with the male cats in his foster home—sharing friendly grooming sessions—but he has been bullied by female cats before, so a laid-back female feline companion is best if there’s another cat. Sterling is available for adoption in the St. Louis metro area only. Start your journey together! Apply now.
