Pommo was surrendered to us from a hoarding situation, he was fed and cared for, but had never actually received human love and attention. When he arrived he was incredibly shy and shut down and not coping in the shelter, we would never see him eat or try to interact with people. Pommo was placed with one of our very experienced foster carers so we could see how he was in a home with some “one on one” attention. Initially it took nearly three weeks for him to accept and seek pats and cheek rubs, but slowly he has learnt to trust his carer.

He struggles to find comfort in people and is still not confident or comfortable enough to explore the house, but he has responded to his foster carer and her older children feeding and patting him. The one thing that made him feel confident enough to take these steps was the foster carer’s cat, who Pommo adores the company of. Having a confident friend will be the only way you will be rewarded by seeing his true sweet nature.

Pommo must have another friendly confident feline around and a human who is patient and experienced enough to allow him the time to thrive. If you are happy to give this sweet gentle boy a lot of time to feel comfortable and confident and do not expect him to show affection before he is ready then please consider giving him a home. He enjoys being patted and combed all over and really likes his food but he absolutely does not want to be picked up!

His new home must have experience with very shy cats or are committed to giving Pommo the time he needs.
