Hi! I'm Scout! I was adopted from a rescue in Brooklyn, NY with my bestest furiend and moved to San Francisco with our previous human. We were living the good life as indoor-only kitties when out of the blue, she put us outside and that was the last time we saw her. Not only did I lose my person and home, but sadly I also lost my bestest furiend to kidney cancer.

I'm a shy guy but can you blame me after all of the uncertainties I’ve had to deal with after being abandoned outside and losing my bestest furiend? I’m just unsure about who I can trust so I’m playing it safe by making sure I keep some personal space when humans are nearby. Sometimes when I want to chill, I'll hang out in my kitty cave so I can just relax and observe what’s going on around me. I did hide when I first arrived in my foster home but now I’m out and about with my tail up even though I’m still keeping personal space around humans most of the time.

There is one thing, however, that makes me forget all about personal space… food! When it’s mealtime I’ll be there. It’s the purrfect time to give me some pets while we’re getting to know one another, but only pets from the back please until we’ve built some trust. Oh, and I’m not shy about grabbing food from my furiends and helping myself to it… haha! You can see just how stealthy I am in the video below.

I'm a chill kitty and I prefer a relaxed lifestyle over a playful and adventurous lifestyle. Lying on the couch or on top of a cat tree by a window sounds purrfect to me.

I’m not going to let my previous person ruin my love for humans. I have lots of love to share, I just need a family who understands shy kitties and who will take things slow while helping me learn to trust you. I miss having my bestest furiend around but I know there are other great kitties out there and having a more confident kitty around will also really help me feel like my old self.

Although I’m a bit nervous, I’m super excited to have a family again. Maybe you’ll make me a part of your family!
