About Stepdad

Stepdad is a young domestic short-haired cat who has experienced significant upheaval recently. He’s feeling a bit overwhelmed by the changes in his life and is looking for a nurturing space to call home. Though he may seem a little stressed, he is a good boy at heart. He’s been calm during interactions and isn’t aggressive; he just needs some time to adjust and feel secure again. What Stepdad really needs is a quieter foster environment where he can decompress and remember how to be the sweet cat everyone knows he can be. A soft bed and a patient adopter would help him settle in. With a little love and attention, he has the potential to thrive. If you are the sort of person who understands how to help a shy cat gain confidence, Stepdad is ready to show his true personality.
