Dennis - understanding home needed

Updated profile!

Meet Dennis—a gentle soul in need of a quiet, understanding home, with a super special human. Dennis arrived at CDCH after living in a busy, multi-animal environment, and his initial reaction was one of withdrawal. The new surroundings proved overwhelming, and for months he has chosen to retreat from human interaction, seeking the safety of his safe space instead.

However, recent weeks have brought a glimmer of hope to the team, as slowly but surely, Dennis has begun to show signs of gaining trust, by making more frequent appearances, and even accepting the odd tasty treat from some of the staff he has become familiar with, who continue to respect his cautious nature. These small steps forward have convinced us that Dennis is ready for a truly special adopter—one who understands that a gentle, patient approach is key.

Dennis is looking for a calm, quiet home with minimal visitors, where he can slowly build confidence at his own pace. He would flourish in a safe space that allows him the freedom to explore and eventually enjoy some outdoor time once he feels settled. If you’re a compassionate, patient cat lover who can offer Dennis the time and space he needs, with minimal expectations of interaction in the initial months, then Dennis may be the cat for you. We have no doubt that if his needs are respected, he will slowly show his appreciation, becoming a sweet and gentle companion. 

Ideally, Dennis’ adopters will be able to provide him with a separate space within their home, and allow him independent use to avoid stress during the crucial settling stages. He would also benefit from plenty of enrichment opportunities, such as toys, food puzzles and climbing spots, to keep his brain busy and minimise frustration.
