About August

Meet August! This striking 4-year-old orange and white cat is ready to be your gentle companion. August is a sensitive soul, and new environments can sometimes be a bit overwhelming for him. He’ll thrive with a patient adopter who understands the importance of a gradual adjustment period. A two-week decompression period in his new home is essential, allowing him to feel secure and build his confidence. He has a history of noise sensitivity and situational anxiety, which means he may hiss if he feels startled or overstimulated, communicating his need for space. However, during veterinary visits, August has demonstrated his calmer side, being cooperative and gentle with the staff. With current daily anxiety medication, he’s making great strides in feeling comfortable. While he might be able to live with another cat, it’s crucial to introduce them slowly to foster a positive relationship. A quiet home and plenty of patience will help August truly thrive. If you're seeking a beautiful cat who requires understanding and time, August might just be your perfect match. Stop by to meet him in person during our adoption hours.
