About Catticus Finch

Meet Catticus Finch! Born in 2020, Catticus Finch is a striking black cat with charming white flecks adorning his coat, resembling a distinguished gentleman with silver hairs. This gentle soul has the sweetness of a teddy bear and is simply delightful. Catticus and his close companion, Mew Radley, came to us after a traumatic experience where they faced threats from hoses and hot oil. Understandably, they've been cautious, often hiding. However, we’re gradually unveiling the loving cats beneath. Catticus enjoys his Churus and is a master of affectionate headbutts. Though he remains shy around newcomers, his kind nature truly shines with patience. He and Mew Radley are inseparable, sharing moments of grooming, cuddling, and sleeping, having formed a deep bond through shared hardship. These gentle boys will flourish in a calm environment where they can take their time adjusting. An adopter with experience in socializing shy cats would be ideal, but we're eager to support anyone ready to learn. Our dedicated staff is available to assist with their transition and build trust. Catticus Finch and Mew Radley need a loving home now. Please consider giving these two precious boys a chance! Catticus Finch's adoption fee is sponsored, covering neuter surgery, vaccinations, and a veterinary examination, along with a bag of food.
