About Zephyr bonded with Cirrus

Zephyr is a sweet white cat with striking yellow eyes currently located in Malibu. This gentle soul is very shy and needs a secure environment to feel comfortable. Although he's initially scared, he has started to slowly return blinks and will cautiously eat when someone is in the room. He shows friendliness towards other cats, which gives hope for his socialization as he adjusts to a new home. This beautiful male cat is about two years old and is the proud father of Cirrus. Ideally, they should be adopted together; their bond could provide them both with much-needed comfort. Watching this father-son pair interact will surely bring joy to any adopter. Zephyr is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and has been flea treated, but does require an understanding adopter willing to give him time to settle in.
