Bryn
Meet Bryn, a sensitive soul in need of a patient and understanding home. In the cattery, Bryn was quite shut down and worried but is coming out of his shell in a foster home. Due to his nervous nature, Bryn will need to start out in an enclosed room of his own where he can gradually build his confidence before exploring the rest of his new home.
A word from Bryn's fosterer:
'Shy boy Bryn is slowly coming out of his shell. Though he prefers to stay hidden on his tower when I’m in his room, he will now watch me so he can see what I’m up to and check if I have any treats for him When alone in his room he’s very relaxed and loves to chill out on his rug to look out the window or play with his catnip toys. He’s a clever chap who can easily master a puzzle feeder which helps to slow down his eating and use his brain.'
