DYLAN [ID #20090]
Male
4 months
Location: Auckland City - Home Adoption
Personality:
Meet Dylan. Dylan may have a few little quirks, but underneath them is one of the sweetest and most rewarding kittens you’ll ever meet. When Dilly first arrived in our care, he was extremely fearful of people and needed to be wrapped securely and handled with gloves. Since then, he has made incredible progress and has slowly learned that humans can actually be pretty wonderful. Now, he enjoys gentle attention, loves being patted, and absolutely melts for a good b***y scratch.
Dylan is an independent little man who prefers all four paws on the ground, so being picked up or having his tummy touched isn’t really his thing. However, once he feels safe and comfortable, he is incredibly affectionate and loves cuddling up beside you when you’re sitting or lying down. His foster believes he can feel intimidated by sudden movements or quick approaches, so he thrives with calm, patient people who allow him to come to them in his own time.
Dilly is also a huge foodie and will do just about anything for a Churu treat! Feather teaser toys and snacks are the quickest way to win him over. While he may still give a little hiss when meeting new people, this usually passes very quickly once he realises he’s safe.
Ideal Home:
Dylan is looking for a calm and understanding home with adopters who will give him the time and patience he needs to settle in at his own pace. To help him feel secure, he should initially be kept in a smaller room with limited hiding spaces before gradually being introduced to the rest of the home as his confidence grows. Because he can still be a little nervous, all external doors and windows must be kept securely shut during his first few months to prevent any accidental escapes.
Dylan absolutely adores other cats and would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly feline companion to help continue building his confidence. He is also used to a calm, cat-savvy dog and patient children.
Watching Dylan learn to trust and come out of his shell has been incredibly special, and the right home will be rewarded with the sweetest little companion!
