About Desire

Desire is a sweet, low-key cat who appreciates the simple joys of life. He loves to snuggle in the mornings and will follow you around the apartment during the day. Though most of his time is spent napping or hanging out with his buddy Cole, he often chirps when he's exploring. While he has some unique tastes—preferring tube treats like churus—Desire is still learning to navigate his world. Desire does best with slow introductions to new people and environments, as he may be a bit timid. His past interactions with humans have been limited, so he requires a patient hand as he warms up to his new home. It's recommended that Desire finds a home with experienced cat owners who understand his need for space and reassurance. An adult-only environment will suit him best, giving him the time to build trust and positive associations with humans. This lovable cat has formed a bond with Cole, and they are often seen cuddled up together. Embrace the journey of helping Desire come out of his shell. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
