About Mantis

Meet Mantis, a young, shy male cat who’s still warming up to humans. He came to the shelter with his four siblings, and thanks to his amazing foster mom, he’s learning to trust again. Mantis would thrive best in a home with another cat to help him come out of his shell. A fun detail about him is his unique half tail—it's not a full tail, but it’s not just a stub either. His foster mom loves to joke that his sister took half of it before they even made their entrance into the world! Mantis is house trained, vaccinated, and altered, and he's looking for a loving home where he can feel safe and cherished. Not suitable for homes with young children, he would do best with someone who understands his gentle nature. Mantis may take some time to adjust, but with patience, he'll become a delightful companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
