About Tao

Tao is a handsome brown tabby hoping for a second chance at a forever home. After being adopted as a young kitten, he recently found himself back in the care of the Chesapeake Feline Association when his adopter faced changes in circumstances. This shy and sensitive boy is still adjusting. Though he may take a little time to warm up, he's already showing signs of coming out of his shell. Tao enjoys playtime and thrives around other cats, who help him gain confidence. He's looking for a patient and understanding family willing to provide the time he needs to blossom. With a little love, Tao can become a wonderful companion. Could you be the one to help him feel at home for good?
