Happy Forever Friday! This week we have a lovely update on a special boy adopted just a short time ago. He took a bit of time to settle in, but it sounds like he has done beautifully! Read below for a nice check in on handsome Wh***ey, now Big Mac:
“Our big orange boy weighed in at 14 pounds when we brought him home so we changed his name from Wh***ey to Big Mac! AKA Mac-adoo, Mac and Cheese, MacIntosh, Mr. Bean...He is such a sweet boy and is so ready for all the love! His purr is like a rainstorm and we could just scratch and pet him all day long- whenever we stop he looks up to see what is wrong with us! He is about 2 years old and we brought him home 6 weeks ago from the Quiet Room. He seems to have had some trauma that makes it especially scary for him to be out in the open and to explore. He still mostly stays in one room, with the occasional adventure down the hall or into another room when all is very quiet and his favorite people are around. We've put his food outside of "his room" so that he can stretch his comfort a few times a day, and that seems to work well. He will let us sit near him, but is not a big fan of being picked up and is not a lap cat just yet. Mac does have lots of energy to chase and capture a fellow orange guy (a fish on a string!), and he is enjoying scratching and sitting in a cat tower. We have several felt "hidey holes" that he loves to snuggle into for hours at at time, and we are just trying to be patient and give him time to become his best self!”
Thank you for the update and for adopting this special guy!
