Mickey is a sweet and thoughtful boy who is looking for a calm, understanding forever home. He may not always seek out affection straight away, but he genuinely enjoys spending time around people and likes to be part of whatever is going on. When he’s in the right mood, he can be wonderfully loving—he’ll nudge his head into your hand and happily accept fuss. At other times, he’s perfectly content simply sitting nearby, enjoying your company from a comfortable distance.
He is a sensitive soul who can be easily spooked, and he tends to be a little more cautious around men. Mickey usually comes out to say hello, but occasionally he’ll choose to stay where he feels safest, and that’s just his way of taking things at his own pace. He’s very good at communicating when he needs space—if he’s uncomfortable, he’ll quietly walk away, and his tail will start to swish to let you know he’s had enough.
Mickey would do best in a quiet, calm home where he can settle without too much noise or hustle. He can cope with visitors, though he may take a step back when new people arrive. He’d prefer not to be left alone for long periods, but he will manage being left when necessary, as long as he has a safe, familiar space to relax in.
This lovely boy needs a patient adopter who will allow him to build trust at his own pace and appreciate both his affectionate moments and his quiet independence. With time, kindness, and understanding, Mickey will reward you with gentle companionship and heartfelt affection on his own terms.
