Dive under the sea with Urchin!


Just like his namesake, Urchin has a tough exterior, but he's looking for a special forever home where he can transform into the softie we know he truly is.


ABOUT URCHIN
- At shelter
- Urchin is a handsome tabby with stunning, green eyes (and no spikes!).
- He is a skittish cat who is continually working to improve his comfort level with humans. He has really come out of his shell over the past few weeks!
- Once comfortable, Urchin is a sweetheart who loves affection. He enjoys face and belly pets, and although not a lapcat, he has fallen asleep against his foster mom multiple times.
- Urchin is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.


URCHIN'S IDEAL HOME
- Urchin will do best with an experienced and patient owner that can read his body language and make Urchin feel comfortable on his own timeline.
- He will benefit from a calm, quiet home without small children and he must be the only cat.
- Urchin is sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements, so will appreciate plenty of safe spots like tunnels and cubbies to hide in while the "threat" passes.
- Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Urchin settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Urchin with a successful transition to his forever home.
