Bashful

True to his name, Bashful is a sweet little gentleman who takes a little time to come out of his shell. New people, new places and big changes can all feel a bit overwhelming for this shy boy, so he's looking for someone who understands that the best friendships aren't always instant.

Bashful may start off hiding away and wondering who exactly you are and why you're in his space, but give him time, patience and a little gentle encouragement and he'll eventually decide that pats are actually pretty wonderful. 🥹

He's not going to be the cat who marches straight over demanding attention - Bashful prefers a slow-burn romance. But when he finally trusts you enough to enjoy a pat, it's a very special moment.

If you have a quiet home, a patient heart and plenty of time to let this shy boy find his confidence, Bashful could be your perfect little companion.

Bashful is part of our Rescue or Rehome program, where we are committed to finding homes for cats and kittens who simply cannot cope in the shelter environment.
