Age: Approx. 6 months old.
Arrived at Shelter: I am currently in a foster home.
Shelter staff made the following comments about this animal: Birdie LOOOOOOVES other cats! He can be seen (from afar) wrestling and snuggling with every cat in his showcase. Unfortunately, he is still terrified of humans. Birdie will need to go home with another cat to help him build his confidence. His adopter needs to patient and give him lots of time and space to become less fearful.
