Description:
Hello all my name is Haywood. I am a very shy and scaredy cat when I first meet new humans, you see that is just who I am and I am learning. I will need a home that has at least one other kitty who can be my friend, like the one I have now in my foster home, to teach me about their humans and how to be a kitty in their house. I do not like to be locked in a kennel at all and if I am please do not just reach inside to try to get me out it scares me and I am after all a cat and might think you are trying to hurt me. I will require a quiet spot that is contained (but please not a kennel) where I can get used to new people, sounds and such. A bathroom would work, even a small one.My foster family had to just sit in the area with me and talk to me. They didn’t make any sudden movements or loud noises and allowed me to explore them. Now when they call me I come running and rubbing on their legs and wanting to be petted. I am still afraid of the vacuum monster and loud noises but I am learning from my foster sister, Mavis, on how to be ok with the noises. I have been introduced to the little humans and love them but they are older and have been around scaredy cats before and know how to earn my trust. I have already had one very traumatic experience with one person and they scared me. So all of my meet and greets have to be at my foster home and you will need to maybe spend some time allowing me to get to know you and you to get to know me. That way when I get to go home with you you will already have an amazing understanding of me and hopefully will be able to love me as much as I know I could love you back. Have experience with kitties who NEED time to adjust in a new home, may hide when new people come in the house but will hug you and love you once they know they ae safe and loved? This boy loves his people but he needs a very experienced cat owner that has dealt with semi-feral cats and knows how to pace themselves with him and not force themselves on him. He loves other cats and is fine with politie dogs. He would be approved for a barn cat home with the appropriate managed adjustment period. Look at that hug! Haywood just wants to be loved, and he just needs a little patience to make you his forever person!!!! LONG STAY REDUCED ADOPTION FEE of $50! Our adoption events are too overwhelming for Haywood so apply to adopt Haywood to schedule a meet and greet with this boy in his foster home. He will need a patient adopter who will work with him to come out of his shell in a quiet environment.All cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, FELV/FIV tested, microchipped, given a few rounds of dewormer and started on monthly flea preventative.

Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.
