Anchovy is about two years old as of February 2026. His situation is a bit complicated, and he's spent most of his life in rescue. He was trapped as an older kitten with the intent of socializing for adoption. Unfortunately, his foster was unable to spend the time required to work with him, so he either needed to go back outside or be moved to a different foster. Cold weather was already here, so the decision was made to move him to a different foster. He's still quite fearful, but is very motivated by food. When he was confined to a cage, he learned to enjoy pets. Now that he has the run of the house, he's not easy to catch. At this point, he will likely never be a cuddly house cat. He loves other cats, and his behavior is much more relaxed when he's with his cat friends. At this point, we are looking for a safe option for him, because his foster mom is very ill and he cannot stay long term. If you are either an incredible person who wants to give this boy a home despite his fear, or if you have a very safe shop, barn, etc, please apply here! safehousepets.org

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
