Dexter napping

Dreyfus, now called Dexter, came from a feral colony managed by Thundering Paws. He let us know that he thought he might want to be a tame kitty, so he was brought to the Sanctuary. We guessed he was less than 2 years old.

At first he was skittish, but over several weeks became more and more tame, and approached volunteers to rub against their legs and to be petted. He had an inquisitive personality, and was sometimes playful as a kitten when not lounging with a satisfied look on his face. He was one of our most charismatic residents, but still easily startled by people.

Thankfully, he was adopted by a patient woman. He spent many days under her couch, accepting food and affection, but not venturing out. She named him Dexter.

Today he's out and about all the time, and greets everyone who comes to the apartment, and they all love him. He really enjoys looking out the window to see what's going on outside, and he's still a huge flirt and mooch for pets and belly rubs.
