Gilbert is a 3-year-old spirit cat who, like his brother Chester, is still learning to trust the human world. Cautious and reserved, Gilbert prefers to keep to himself and observe from a distance until he feels safe. He's looking for a patient, cat-savvy adopter who can offer him a calm home, gentle understanding, and the time he needs to slowly come out of his shell.
Much like Chester, Gilbert is far more comfortable around other cats than people, and would thrive in a home with feline companions who can help him feel secure. Though he may not be a lap cat any time soon, he has shown that, with the right person and environment, he can form quiet connections. Earning Gilbert's trust won't happen overnight, but for those who believe in giving shy animals a second chance, his loyalty and peaceful presence will be a deeply meaningful reward.
