You’d hardly know it now by his rumbly purr and adorable habit of showing off his belly, but Cole wasn’t always so sure about people. “Cole was very scared and shy when he got here,” says his foster mom. “The first day he didn’t even come out of his carrier. I told him it’s OK to be scared, but we’d try to get a little braver every day.” And that’s just what this incredibly loving boy has done. Although Cole still enjoys hanging out in the “fort” that his foster parents made him for security, he comes right out whenever there’s a toy to chase or attention to be had. “He purrs and purrs when you pet him. I can’t describe it, but he’s just THE sweetest cat of all time.” His foster mom thinks he’d do well in a quieter home with a “chill” cat sibling and people who would have patience with him as he settles in. “Cole would be perfect for someone who just wants a best buddy to sit beside them all the time … thanking you with lots of purrs.”
