About Tommy

If eyes are the window to the soul, then Tommy's soul must be very deep and rich, with his captivating green eyes! That is statement of his history. Tommy was adopted as a kitten in 2017 and returned to us this year. His household had changed, new pets were added and it was no longer a good environment for Tommy. The change was very confusing and frightening for Tommy, especially after such a long time with his prior family. It took Tommy a month of one-on-one interaction with his foster mom to transform his fear response of hisses and growls into soft meows and build his trust to the point of seeking out positive interaction on this own. His foster mom rejoiced the day he left his safe space on his own and laid down next to her to enjoy some body rubs! She had clearly won his trust. Now Tommy's first love is not treats, food or toys. He just loves to be loved. He approaches his foster mom for pets and attention and is content to lay by her side, snuggled up close, for as long as she will rub his body. There are still things that frighten him. He is beginning to get used to new people visiting him. Frightening things will still send Tommy into hiding and possibly bring out some hisses. But it is short-lived. Once he knows the coast is clear and it is safe, he will come out looking for attention. And once your hand touches him and you begin gently rubbing his face, he leans into the touch and becomes butter. Tommy will do best in a quiet and stable home with no other animals or children. His adopter must be an experienced cat person who is patient and understanding, and willing to devote the time to developing a bond with him. It is crucial to allow Tommy the time and space he requires to acclimate to his new environment. Once that bond is built, Tommy will be a great companion with lots of love to give.
