About Crosby

Meet Crosby! Named after Bing Crosby, this sweet boy is a gentle soul who needs a little help finding his confidence. He may be nervous around people initially, but he trusts other cats completely, looking to them to show him that humans aren't so scary after all. Once Crosby finds his way into your arms or settles into your lap, he starts to relax and enjoy the love. This baby is on a journey to discover how wonderful people can be, and with patience, gentle attention, and a confident kitty by his side, he will continue to blossom.

Crosby may need a little encouragement at first, but underneath those nerves is a sweet boy who’s beginning to understand that laps are cozy, people give great love, and being brave can be quite wonderful.
