Description:

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ALEX is a Shy (Undersocialized) Cat. Although we have begun the process of socializing him, he is still very much a "work in progress", and will require the commitment of a LOT of patience, time and effort to help him along this journey. For this reason, Shy Cats benefit from a calm, quiet, household environment, preferably without small children. Shy Cats are not for everyone. While the investment can be rewarding, some Shy Cats will always remain reserved and may never develop into a cuddly lap cat. Please take the time to consider carefully, when choosing a Shy Cat.**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************AT SHELTER***Alex(ander) was in the midst of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day when he was found abandoned (and then saved!) by a local rescue. Searching for a fresh start, Alex made his way to EHS.While he is reserved and weary of all the new people around him, Alex is starting to relax-slowly. He even enjoys the feeling of the back-scratcher on his chin, cheeks, and head. His shyness dissipates when offered Churo tube treats: if Alex could write a review, he would say tube treats are finger-licking good!Alex is a quiet cat who enjoys sleeping and chilling out in the comfort and protection of his cubby. He is approachable as long as your movements are slow and your voice is soft. If he feels unsure and wants to warn you, he will let out a little hiss. We are currently working on building trust with Alex. His guard is slowly fading and he will accept pets on the head and cheeks, but on his own terms. We expect this boy to make steady strides in developing his confidence over the next few weeks.Due to his timid nature, the best home for Alex is a quiet one without small children or dogs. His experience with other cats is unknown. If you're interested in opening your home and heart to this shy and sweet boy, please submit an application today!--------------------The adoption fee for a single cat at EHS is $175. Take home an adult feline friend for your kitty and the adoption fee for the pair is $300! For kittens under six months of age, the adoption fee is $200...Or double your cuteness quotient and adopt two wee furballs for $350! If you mix and match (kitten plus cat), the adoption fee is $300. Each of our cats is spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, snap tested for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, and flea treated prior to adoption. Kittens are not spayed or neutered until 5 months of age, but the cost of spay/neuter will be covered as part of the adoption.--------------------Interested in adopting Alex? It's easy!
