Meet Yeti
Like his elusive namesake, Yeti can be quite shy. To bring this quiet lad out of hiding, you have to apply a careful rotation of treats, toys, time, and most importantly, other furry friends.
He came into fostering with his companion Yukon Gold Potato, and showed every sign of being a protective ‘big brother’ to his best friend. He came from a colony with other cats, so his foster had a sneaking suspicion that he might be a big friendly giant. When Yeti’s foster family’s resident cats first came into the foster room, this furry giant perked right up, and chirped a ‘hello!’. With some examples from these new pals, he has been emerging from the dark and secret caves (cardboard box) he calls home.
Now that Yeti has started to show himself during daylight hours, his foster family has a sneaking suspicion he will be a real cuddle bug. He is a big fan of his schedule of wet food at breakfast and dinner, and has learned to come out for pets during these exciting times of the day. There are even purrs and meows! While he still steps ever so daintily around the room (he might have big feet but he is very careful with them) and watches playtime from a safe spot, he is starting to warm up enough to play with toys. His favourite game is to chase a stick under a blanket, so watch out for your toes in bed in the future!
Yeti is, above all else, a gentle giant who would do best in a home that will let him settle in gently, and that has a friendly and confident cat or two. He and Yukon Gold Potato are quite bonded and still quite shy, but warming up quickly.
