Baxter

Baxter spent 12 years of his life in a quiet, one-cat home with an elderly lady who could no longer care for him. When he was returned to the same shelter where he had been adopted as a kitten, he was understandably confused and scared. After so much time as the only cat in a calm, solitary environment, Baxter became fearful and anxious. Labeled as having ‘behavioral issues,’ he was even considered for a barn cat placement. However, what Baxter truly needed was patience, understanding, and time to adjust.

Now, Baxter lives in a multi-pet household. With positive reinforcement training and his favorite Churu treats, he has slowly started to relax and trust again. Though he’s still working through his fears, Baxter has made incredible progress, even showing moments of play and curiosity. With continued love and support, we know he’ll keep growing more comfortable and confident in his new life.
