Crowley is a gorgeous green eyed 1-year-old boy that was rescued as a kitten from a woodpile and a life of fending for himself outdoors. Crowley is very affectionate and loves attention but has not been adopted yet because he is a "scaredy-cat" ...waiting for a family patient enough to give him the time he needs to trust. He is great with his foster family and with many others that have taken the time to get to know him. Once Crowley gets to know you he's a really amazing guy that will be so grateful to have a forever home. Crowley is great with other cats and dogs. Are you willing to give this regal boy a chance?
