About Goddard

Goddard is an adorable orange tabby who, along with his brother Amadeus, arrived at the rescue feeling overwhelmed and scared. Initially described as “frozen in fear,” Goddard is slowly discovering that people can be a source of kindness. With gentle encouragement and patience, he’s beginning to open up and learn to trust. Goddard can be adopted alone or with Amadeus, but having another feline companion at home would certainly help him blossom. If you’re looking for a patient and loving friend to help navigate the world together, Goddard might be the one for you. Providing a quiet and secure environment will be key as this sweet boy continues to grow and find his courage. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
