About Paddington

Paddington is a striking young fellow with a distinctive pink nose that draws everyone in. This black-and-white, short-haired cat is just 5 months old and came to us as a citizen stray earlier in October. Though he’s a bit shy and nervous right now, Paddington is on the lookout for a patient and loving home where he can learn to trust and feel safe. With time and understanding, we believe his sweet nature will shine even brighter than his adorable pink nose. If you're interested in giving Paddington the chance to thrive, submit an adoption application to meet him. He’s available for visits in the cat room from Tuesday to Sunday between 11 AM and 4 PM. He might be a little timid at first, but he’s hoping to find that special someone who will help him become the wonderful companion he’s meant to be!
