About Genji

Genji is a shy young male cat who fits the description of a Hoarder cat, offering a unique companionship experience. These cats are often known as House Spirits; they quietly reside in your home but rarely make themselves seen. While Genji may initially be elusive, he has the potential to become comfortable with a small, quiet household over time. With patience, he can learn to trust a few select people and might even choose to nap on your bed at night. He’s great with other cats, making him an excellent companion for feline friends. However, Genji won’t change into an outgoing cat; his personality as it stands is likely what you’ll encounter long-term. Ideal for someone wanting to help a cat that needs a gentle, low-key environment, he's best for homes that aren't busy or chaotic. Ready to adopt? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
