About Breadstick

Meet Breadstick! This sweet 5-year-old boy is looking for a patient and loving home where he can truly feel safe. Breadstick came to us from the outdoors, and understandably, the shelter environment is a bit overwhelming for him. He's still adjusting and learning that people aren't frightening, and that he doesn't need to live in fear. Breadstick will thrive in a quiet, understanding environment where he can take his time to settle in. He needs space to decompress and get used to his new life. He might not be the type of kitty who will rush up to greet you right away, but with a generous amount of patience and love, we believe he can turn into a wonderful, relaxed companion. Sometimes, the most fulfilling relationships take a bit longer to develop. Could you be the one Breadstick has been waiting for? Click apply to start the adoption process.
