About Helios

Helios is a young male Domestic Short Hair who is adjusting to shelter life. He tolerates attention and petting but can be a bit shy and fearful. This means he may not be the best fit for homes with young children; a quieter environment will help him feel more secure. Helios tends to be independent and will need time to warm up to his new family, so it's important that his adopters are experienced cat parents who understand his temperament. This kitty is a lovely shade of orange with some white accents and is currently in Ridgewood, NY. Are you ready to give Helios the loving home he deserves?
