Hello! My name is Beau!

Here’s what my friends at Española Humane say about me:

- Meet Beau, a handsome 2-year-old black-and-white medium-haired cat with a heart of gold. Beau came to the shelter in a feral trap, understandably scared and confused by the situation, but despite his rough start, he has never been anything but gentle. Rather than reacting with hissing or swatting, Beau immediately ran to the food bowl and began eating, a sign of his sweet and non-aggressive nature.

When Beau first arrived, he had several scabs on his neck, likely the result of a past encounter with other animals, but even in the face of these challenges, he remained calm and kind. Initially, Beau wasn't too fond of being picked up, so he was given some time to cool off and adjust to his new environment. By the next day, he was already rubbing up against the kennel door, purring for attention and welcoming gentle pets.

Though Beau is still a bit wary of being handled, he'll try to wriggle out of your arms if you pick him up, he's made great strides in becoming more affectionate. With time and patience, Beau will continue to warm up and learn to trust his humans more. He's a cat who's already shown he has so much love to give; he just needs a patient and understanding home where he can feel safe and secure.

Beau would make a wonderful companion in a household that can give him the time and space he needs to grow more confident. With a little love and encouragement, he's sure to become the affectionate, loyal friend you've been looking for. If you're ready to help Beau blossom into the perfect pet, he's ready to fill your home with love and joy.

If you’re interested in adopting me, fill out an application to get a jump start on the process! We don’t offer holds on shelter pets, so c’mon in to meet and greet to decide if you’ve met your match. Applications for pets in foster care, at Ojo Santa Fe, or offsite in other programs will be reviewed by staff before appointments are scheduled.
