Hello, I'm Maurice (Mo or Momo, if you ask most of the humans in my foster home). I'm a sweet guy, but I need my space and plenty of time to get comfy in a new environment. It took me a while to realize that the humans here weren't going to hurt me, but I get braver every day. I don't hiss or bite or scratch, but I will run and hide if my boundaries are not respected. If you respect my boundaries and give me time, and approach me slowly and quietly, I will melt. Give me ALL of the scratches! Literally all of them. I can't get enough. I'll purr like a motor and stay in the same spot as long as you keep giving me scratches. I'm dedicated like that. I'll even let you rub my belly. I don't really like to be picked up, but sometimes I like a gentle cuddle in someone's arms. I think with time I'll be comfortable getting up on couches and chairs to hang out and snuggle. My foster humans think I'd probably adjust more quickly in a quieter house, especially if there are cats for me to hang out with. I could get used to respectful humans of all sizes. Just give me plenty of time. Treats and scratches help too, of course. I love wand toys, but I've also been spotted batting random items around on the floor. Do you have the patience to help me keep coming out of my shell? Apply to meet me and we can find out.
