Found a home.
Meet Pigeon, a sensitive and thoughtful soul who’s looking for a special kind of home — one where patience, understanding, and a gentle approach make all the difference. This nervous boy takes his time warming up to new surroundings and people, but with space to settle in and someone who respects his boundaries, he has the potential to truly thrive.
Pigeon communicates in quiet, subtle ways — a flick of the tail, a shift in posture, a cautious glance — and he’s hoping to find someone who can read those signals and give him the time he needs to feel safe. He’s not aggressive, just unsure, and needs a calm, predictable environment where he can decompress and build trust at his own pace.
He would do best in a quiet, adult-only home with someone experienced in cat behavior — someone who knows that trust with a cat like Pigeon is earned slowly, and that progress is measured in small, meaningful steps.
If you understand that not every cat is a lap cat from day one — and you're willing to give this stunning boy the patience and respect he deserves — Pigeon could be the deeply rewarding companion you’ve been waiting for.
