In the shelter’s words

Pauly DOB: May 2026 (est) Neutered Male Short Hair Black Hi there, I’m Pauly. I’m gonna be upfront for a moment: I am a little shy when I first meet new people. I like to size things up a bit before I fully let my guard down, so give me a little time to warm up. Trust me, it’s worth the wait, because once I’m comfy, I am all-in! Once I’m settled in, you’ll quickly discover that belly scratches are basically my love language. No, really, I won’t complain (or attack your hand). I’m also a big fan of toys I can bat around. And, well, you can’t go wrong when you bring out the treat bag! I would do great in a home with another kitty friend to help me get settled in and gain confidence (and hone my cat skills). Since I’m just a little guy, it’s probably best if kids in the home are over age 6 and know how to handle kittens safely. And I’d probably need a slow-ish introduction to your dog, too (but once I’m feeling safe around it, I’m sure we’ll be best buddies!). Some of my favorite ways to spend the day include a good nap in a sunny window and playing with my sister, Paisley. Basically, I’m a simple guy with simple joys and I think I’d fit right into a home that lets me ease in at my own pace, where I can get belly rubs and treats. If that sounds good to you, let’s get to know each other. Contact Best Friend Pet Adoption to find out how to adopt me! (P.S. I know my coat looks kind of grey-ticked right now, but I’m going to end up being a perfect, handsome void kitty before you know it!) Dogs: Must have kitty manners Other cats: Good with others, needs a kitty friend Kids: Over 6 with kitty experience
