In the shelter’s words

Simon is a handsome young adult declawed cat who has endured more changes than any cat should have to experience. His first three adoptions resulted in his being returned because he hid from the new families. Nothing or no one could coax him from his hiding place. He was shy and scared each time so, sadly, he was returned. His fourth adoption resulted in something beautiful happening. The new owner simply waited patiently until Simon felt enough at ease to venture forth. He made sure he was available to Simon by allowing him to see and hear him and Simon began relaxing, grooming himself and sleeping on the bed. His trust grew and he was on his way to settling in. But, sadly, the owner developed allergies and, although he was willing to try allergy meds and special food for Simon, he was advised to return him by his doctor. Simon is now back at the shelter, once again hiding and feeling betrayed. The human he was just beginning to trust and open up to was gone and he is alone again. Simon badly needs his own human. Someone who will be patient, gentle and loving. Someone who can offer him a quiet home, a calm home and consistency in his surroundings. His lonely little heart yearns and he needs his very own person - someone he can depend upon and trust and to whom he can freely give his love. Could you be that person? Someone who could give this sad, sweet cat the happiness he so deserves and yearns for so much? Please give him the chance to finally find his happily ever after.
