Julian

Julian isn't opposed to making new friends. He'd just prefer a proper introduction rather than a surprise party!

This sweet, slightly reserved boy has a gentle side that's worth getting to know, even if he likes to take his time showing it.

Julian arrived at our shelter as a stray, and he's still figuring out what to make of all the unfamiliar faces and surroundings. He's a cautious little fellow, but he's already shown us that he enjoys affection when it's offered on his terms.

He'll approach to investigate, enjoy a tasty treat and even lean into a gentle pat. Just don't get too carried away with the scratches! Julian appreciates a little attention, but he's also quite happy to let you know when he's ready for some personal space.

He's the kind of cat who would appreciate someone who understands that building a friendship doesn't have to be rushed. Gentle movements, a quiet environment and letting him keep all four paws on the ground are excellent ways to make him feel comfortable.

A calm home with adults or gentle, cat-savvy children who can respect his boundaries would be a lovely fit. And who knows? Once he's settled into a home of his own, we might discover a whole new side of Julian that the busy shelter hasn't quite allowed him to show us yet!

At this age, Julian would benefit from dental home care and regular vet checkups will help keep those teeth in good shape.

Julian isn't asking for someone to fuss over him all day. He'd simply love a comfortable home, some tasty snacks and a family who understands that sometimes the nicest way to show a cat you love them is to let them come to you. Give this lovely boy a little patience, and you might just find yourself with a wonderful new friend.

We encourage you to come and meet Julian at our North Melbourne shelter as soon as possible, as our cats cannot be placed on hold.
