Arnold Palmer

Bonded Pair

Meet Arnold Palmer, a handsome black cat with a name as refreshing as his namesake drink. Since returning to the shelter, he’s been feeling shy and spending much of his time tucked into his safe spot. He’ll need a little patience and understanding as he settles in again.

Arnold Palmer may not be ready to step into the spotlight just yet, but a quiet home and a kind person could help him feel more secure. Let him take things at his own pace, and give him the space to explore when he’s ready.

If you have a calm place in your heart for a shy cat, come meet Arnold Palmer. With time, patience and a gentle approach, he may be ready to share a little sweetness and start a new chapter of his own.
