About Mac

Mac is a mysterious fellow, and his friends at ACC are still piecing together his story. He truly enjoys cheek and chin scratches, which bring a noticeable spark to his demeanor. However, he's a bit cautious and thrives on slow introductions to new people and environments to help him feel at ease. When approached in his den, Mac remains curled up, but he is curious enough to lean forward and sniff a hand. He responds well to soft voices and treats, showing a willingness to engage, though he often prefers to retreat to the safety of his den when things feel overwhelming. Mac is tolerant of gentle petting, particularly on his head and cheeks, although he shows some tension when pet on his body. This gentle boy could benefit from a home with experienced cat owners who understand his needs. He's currently in New York, NY, and is ready for his new family to help him blossom into his true self.
