About Sun

Sun is a sweet soul looking for a gentle and understanding home. His friends at ACC have noted that he requires slow introductions to new people and environments to feel secure. Initially reserved, he needs a patient adopter willing to let him adjust at his own pace. Once settled, you'll discover the love bug hiding within him. Currently, Sun prefers a quiet space, as he finds the shelter environment overwhelming. He does not tolerate petting or handling at the moment, but his previous owner described him as friendly and calm at home. This leads us to believe he will flourish in a patient and experienced household that understands his need for time to adapt. He has a lovely ginger tabby coat and weighs 10.8 lbs. If you feel you can provide the comfort and space he needs, don’t wait to apply—Sun could be the perfect companion for you!
