Cyrus is a handsome Los Angeles transplant with sleek black fur, bright eyes and the kind of thoughtful expression that says, “He’ll be joining the party after he has reviewed the guest list.”

At first, Cyrus may be a little shy as he settles into new surroundings and decides whether everyone has passed the vibe check. And honestly, relatable. Not everyone can be the life of the party five minutes after arriving in a brand-new city. Some of us need a little time, a cozy blanket and maybe one supportive snack before our true personality comes out.

But once Cyrus feels comfortable, his sweet side begins to shine. He softens, warms up and shows what a loving little guy he really is. Shy cats deserve love too, especially the ones like Cyrus, who may not introduce themselves with jazz hands but have so much affection waiting underneath that careful first impression.

If you believe the best friendships are sometimes slow burns, come meet Cyrus. He may start off reserved, but give him patience and kindness, and this beautiful LA boy just might become your sweetest San Francisco love story.
