From Champaign Area Trap Spay Neuter and Adoption Program

Nicolas has had an interesting story with us. We trapped him with other cats and kittens to help control the population by neutering and releasing. . . since this was during a harsh winter, we just couldn't put young kittens back out. Nicolas appeared to stay shy for quite awhile. We have learned that Nicolas has environmental needs that must be met for him to act more social. He seems to thrive with a window, and with many social cats around, especially when he is in the middle of the action! He also loves our exercise wheel, which is a great perk of our community room that too few cats take advantage of. Knowng him as perpetually shy, we were amazed to see Nicolas come up specifically to greet us, presumably following the example of the very outgoing cats he had bonded with. Nicolas needs to "take the temp" of the social situation, and he needs to watch examples of cats interacting with humans in a very positive way. If his needs are met, Nicolas is friendly, fun, and would make a great companion! Would you be willing to give him a try? He could be a paired adoption with one of our ultra-friendlies if you would like to maximize his chances of success! Thank you for your…

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