Tutsie is a handsome tabby with a big, brave heart hidden under layers of shyness. We won't sugarcoat it: Tutsie is frightened of people. Sudden movements, loud noises, and direct human attention send him scurrying for a hiding spot. While he may never be a lap cat, we believe Tutsie would thrive as a "Working Cat."
What Tutsie needs:
-- A safe, stable environment like a barn, stable, warehouse, or garage.
-- Minimal pressure to interact. He needs a caretaker who is content to simply provide food, water, and care from a respectful distance.
-- Time and space to adjust to her new territory. Tutsie will likely hide for days, possibly weeks, as he acclimates.
-- A job! He is a motivated mouser and will be a valuable, low-maintenance member of your team.
Tutsie is not a pet for cuddling, but he is a testament to the resilience of a feline spirit. If you have a space that needs a quiet, dedicated worker and you have a compassionate heart for a cat who simply needs to be left alone to live his best life, Tutsie is waiting for you. You can also take him home with no adoption fee!
