Lecture came to us 71 days ago as one of our scaredy cats with little to no progress. For almost an entire month, he lived tucked away inside a bathroom vanity drawer, too frightened to believe people could be safe.

Thankfully, one of our amazing board members was able to move Lecture and a few of his fellow scaredy cats into a quiet spare bedroom where they could decompress. And something incredible happened…

Lecture became the first of the three to come out of his shell!

He now comes out for treats, asks for pets, and has even started purring!!!

Lecture is still looking for a very special family who understands that trust takes time. He’ll need a patient home willing to let him settle in at his own pace, but once he feels safe, he’s already proving that there’s a sweet, affectionate boy waiting to shine.

We hope this big breakthrough is the one that helps his perfect family find him
