About Norman

Meet Norman! He's a 6-year-old neutered male cat searching for a patient and understanding home. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Norman feels overwhelmed by his surroundings. He often finds comfort hiding under his bed or tucked beneath a blanket, where he can feel safe. Norman is friendly with cats and is FELV/FIV negative, microchipped, and neutered. Despite his initial fear, he doesn't pose a threat even when growling; he simply needs time to adjust. A quieter home with teenage-aged or older children would likely suit him best. He has shown he can share space with another cat without issue, but we haven't tested him with dogs yet. Norman may take some time to reveal his true self, but he's worth the effort. With a little patience and understanding, he can discover that life can be good. Click apply to start the adoption process.
