In the shelter’s words
Kindle is about 5 1/2 years old as of November, 2025. His intake picture shows the need for his rescue! He's been with us in rescue since March of 2025 and we have treated and helped him physically recover from the critical condition in which he was found. Kindle and a feline buddy (Sammy) showed up on a farm. Their story to that point is not known. Sammy had been shaved in what appeared to be professional cut and Kindle's hair appeared to have been cut yet not shaved. Sammy was not as physically ill as Kindle was, yet before we could get to help them, Sammy was hit by a car and humane euthanasia was required. We were so sad about Sammy, yet we were so happy to still be able to help Kindle. He's now neutered, vaccinated and healthy yet the trauma from whatever occurred to him mentally remains. He is a very scared boy, non-aggressive and he needs a special home that is quiet where love and patience can be given for as long as it may take to let him trust again. This will take time and we are not certain to what level he will grow to; he may never be a lap cat and that's ok! From his foster: My sweet Kindle I’m not sure what his story is but I know that it broke his heart. He is not a true feral but resorted back to being scared of humans during his life. He loves to take churu treats from me and I have finally after almost a year earned his trust to see his demeanor change from scared to calm during pets. He's absolutely stunning! He's not happy in rescue and we know he will move forward and thrive in a home. He sure deserves one; he's lucky to have survived.
