Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Shy Kitty Looking For Caring Friend

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Looking for a furry friend to add to your family. Consider starting your search at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria coordinates adoptions for animal shelter pets and provides other animal services. There are pets for all kinds of animal lovers, including cats, dogs and smaller pets.

One of the available pets is Carmello, a shy kitty who needs patience from a new family.

Here's more information on Carmello:

Carmello is a 7-year old male tabby cat who needs to find a home! Sadly, he hasn't been adopted as quickly as our other kitties because he's more aloof and shy when he meets new people. His favorite spot is his kitty bed (behind his security blanket) because that's where he feels the safest. He is inquisitive, but prefers to keep track of what's going on from his own corner of the world. He prefers visitors that don't come on too strong at first. Carmello does warm up to new people, but it takes him time, which not every visitor can give him. He needs a patient best friend who can give him the space he needs to be comfortable. Once he's acclimated, we know he'll be a great couch cuddler and companion.
