About Bonsai

Bonsai is a young fellow, around 6-7 months old, who has had a rough start in life. He was born outside, but thankfully a family fostered him and his sister until they found their way to us. He’s a sweet cat but very shy, so he will need a quiet home where he can adjust at his own pace. Picking him up isn't his favorite—he prefers gentle pets instead. A family that understands patience is key will be best suited for him. He has settled well in the cat room and gets along with other cats, but he is fearful of dogs and would do best in a home without small children due to his timid nature. Bonsai is neutered and microchipped, and he will be fully vaccinated before adoption. If you're looking to provide a loving and understanding environment for Bonsai, he could be the right match for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
