Notes from Plush's caretakers:
Plush was born on the streets of Chicago and spent his first few months fending for himself and his siblings before he was rescued. He’s a scrappy little dude — street-smart and independent, but shy around folks he doesn’t know. He might need a little time to work up the courage to snuggle with you on the couch, but he’s very food-motivated, so he’ll happily take treats from your hand and lick your fingers clean as he gets to know you better. As he adjusts to life as an indoor house cat, he’s slowly but surely warming up to the idea that humans can be trusted and loved. Plush is an “observer of life” who prefers to watch from the sidelines and contemplate all his options before jumping into anything. Plush just needs a kind, patient adopter who’s able to see past his tough-guy exterior and appreciate the softer, playful side he’s hiding from the world. He’s also a “cat’s cat” who adores romping and cuddling with other kitties, young and old alike, so it’s important for his new home to have a feline buddy or two for him to bond with. Plush always wants to know where his humans are and likes to stick pretty close. If you’re looking for a cat who will follow you around and listen to you go on and on about your day, he’s your guy! Sure, he’ll also silently judge you from across the room, but if you can give him the time and space he needs to take life at his own pace, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal little sidekick who thinks you’re pretty amazing.
