About Exeter

Meet Exeter! This little guy might come off as shy initially, but beneath that nervous exterior lies a total sweetheart just waiting to shine. With your patience, he’ll bloom into a playful companion. He needs time to feel secure around new people and situations, but once he trusts you, expect a chatty kitty with a powerful purr. Exeter would thrive with a feline friend, especially someone like Moira, who could help him explore and enjoy the world around him. Exeter prefers a dog-free home since even the friendliest dogs can make him anxious. Although he might hiss when startled, that's simply his way of expressing fear and not aggression. This gentle boy needs a soft landing—a quiet space where he can take his time adjusting. Start slow, perhaps in a cozy room, and shower him with love and treats like tube snacks. With these ingredients, he has the potential to transform into a loving, purring companion. *He is currently in a foster home and will be available for adoption this coming weekend.*
