Shelter Cat – Bashful
Bashful, an exquisite, long-haired, blue-gray, Norwegian Forest Cat mix, knows about divorce, about breaking apart a home. The three-year-old, always-indoor boy would have heard the two people he loved fuss over who got this item or that one. He would have watched each one carry out the possession that mattered. Finally, one of them carried Bashful out.
However, Bashful was carried to the shelter. Neither of his people wanted him. Neither one realized that, in the future, the things they kept won’t matter, but they’ll remember the way Bashful loved them.
Bashful deserves the chance to love someone new. He’s the perfect house cat, already neutered, vaccinated and adapted to life indoors. In fact, Bashful is content to make his person’s home his whole world.
