Sheldon

Bonded Pair

Sheldon has just arrived from San Francisco Animal Care & Control, bringing plenty of orange-cat charm and a name fit for a very clever fellow. Right now, he is still studying his new surroundings and prefers to observe the experiment from a safe distance.

This handsome boy is currently shy and may need time before he feels comfortable sharing his softer side. A patient approach, gentle attention and a few well-placed treats could be the perfect formula for earning his trust. Once Sheldon realizes he is safe, his confidence can begin to grow.

Sheldon is looking for a calm home where he can settle in at his own pace and form a lasting bond with someone special. Give this sweet boy the time and understanding he needs, and the result could be one brilliant friendship. Bazinga!
