Hi, I’m Lou!

I was found near a golf course, where one of the kind workers began feeding me. After a while, I made my way to the shelter in hopes of finding a loving home. At first, I was scared and unsure, but the amazing volunteers here never gave up on me. They offered treats, soft words, and gentle pets, slowly helping me realize that everything would be okay. Over time, I started to trust and let my guard down—these humans weren’t so bad after all!

I’ve discovered that pets and treats are absolutely wonderful, but you know what’s even better? PLAYTIME! I’m a big fan of playing, whether it’s chasing a wand toy with you or pouncing on a mouse toy by myself.

Though I can still be a little shy and skittish at first, if you approach me gently, I’ll gladly accept your pets. But if you want to win my heart, just wave a wand toy in front of me—I can’t resist! I’m a young guy with lots of energy, and sometimes I get so excited I might give a playful swat (no claws, promise!) or a love bite. It’s all part of my playful nature, and I’ll likely grow out of it as I mature.

My ideal home would be with people who understand my shyness and energetic playfulness. Loud noises and sudden movements still make me nervous, so I’d do best in a calm, peaceful environment. If you’re patient and gentle, I know we could be the best of pals!
