Bob has spent a lot of his young life learning that people can be trusted—and he’s finally starting to believe it.
Bob is the last of the Bartlesville Three, rescued after surviving nearly three weeks on his own through freezing temperatures and snowstorms. His two littermates have already found their homes, but Bob has needed a little more time to figure out this whole people thing.
Once completely feral and untouchable, Bob has made some pretty amazing progress. He now allows his foster mom to pet him, accepts treats, tolerates being picked up, and has even started checking in on his foster family before retreating to the safety of his favorite cat tree. He isn’t quite ready to be a lap cat—but he’s getting there.
Bob absolutely loves other cats and has shown just how much another confident feline can help him blossom. He bonded with Willa, and the two have played, cuddled, and napped together. Having a friendly cat companion may be an important part of helping Bob continue to build his confidence.
Bob needs an adopter who understands that trust can’t be rushed. He isn’t the cat who will immediately leap into your lap and demand attention. He’s the cat who will make you work for that first purr, that first head bump, and eventually—hopefully—that first cuddle.
For the right person, watching Bob discover that life with humans can be safe, comfortable, and even pretty wonderful will be incredibly rewarding.
Bob is still writing his story. Maybe you’re the person who gets to help him finish it.
