Male Domestic Shorthair named Linus available for adoption

Linus is currently in foster care and available to meet you via virtual meet and greet. To begin the process, please submit an adoption survey and the team will reach out via email with next steps (please check spam).

If you are not sure if you're quite ready to adopt but are interested in Linus, he is also eligible for our two-week adoption trial period. This means you can take him home and see if he's the right fit for you and your family first. We'll provide all the support you need during the trial to ensure a smooth transition. Please contact fosternyc@bestfriends.org for any questions or to learn more about the trial adoption process!

Linus is a handsome 2-year-old male brown tabby with a gentle disposition. Linus is an excellent companion to resident cats and seems confident around another cat who can show him the ropes in his new home! He is still learning to trust humans and he will do well in a home with an adopter willing to build a relationship with him through patience and treats. He is well behaved, uses the litter box, is quiet overnight, and non-destructive - making him an easy-going fit for any home open to building the bond of a lifetime!

Linus is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and up-to-date on vaccines, ready for his new family.

His foster notes say "He was very scared in the beginning ... now he comes out a lot more, is more playful, and way more comfortable being around me... he's otherwise making good progress from where he started! He likes to sit in the window and watch the cars driving by and the city lights! He also likes exploring and is very curious about what I have around the house! ... Considering how scared and unsure he was about me in the beginning, his progress in a month is really heartwarming."

While Linus may be a bit reticent at first, his sweetness shines through once he feels comfortable. He's the perfect blend of charm and warmth, making him an ideal feline friend for those seeking a loving companion.
