Hector Catmacho Domestic Short Hair Grand Rapids, MI

UPDATE 10-6-24: Handsome Hector is ready to head on home! Hector is doing so much better now that he's settled in. He has turned on his tuxedo charm, is very playful, and gets along with everyone. He curls up in pretty much anything he can find for his naps. Hector is looking for his very own person, one that will spend time tossing toys for him, offer him his favorite treats, but most of all, one that will adore him as much as his rescuer does! He absolutely loves our very own Sandi! When he first arrived he didn't want much to do with us, but over time has become such an outgoing guy. We're working on the brushing and nail trims and he has really made progress. He loves to zoom thru the toy tunnels, hang out way up high on top of the cabinets, and just enjoys being with people. He would make a great cat for a family with older kids, and a feline friend or two to chum with.


This was our initial post - Hector has come SO far with us!!
This specific kitty isn't available for adoption at this time, but just because he isn’t brave or comfortable enough to come out of his shell quite yet doesn't mean that we don’t want to show off a handsome face AND maybe generate some interest in some of our adoptable residents. At Crash’s we believe in allowing each of our cats to set their own pace. We don’t force them into the spotlight, or put them into situations where they may feel frightened so as not to elicit the ‘fight, flight, or flee’ responses. It is important to us that each individual of the feline kind is allowed to explore our free-roaming facility as he or she sees fit, so we provide a multitude of different types of cozy cubbies, tall perches, and catwalks, so that favorite hiding spots and vantage points can be determined by each individual. Although we are all about offering reassuring pets and gentle touches, we understand that some of our Crash Cats have been out on the mean streets for too long without non-threatening human interaction, so it is important to us not to force the issue. So many of our timid—and even terrified—residents have literally blossomed by simply observing how their fellow felines give and receive attention and affection, seeking us out for a reassuring head rub or a walk-by graze of fur meeting an unsuspecting pant leg:) We don’t have time limits here, so if it takes months or even years for one of ours to settle in and fully embrace what it means to be part of our population, so be it.
So we urge you to cruise through our other Adoptable Pet Listings and read through the bios and storied written; ya never know who you may consider letting into your heart—and home.

Hector only has eyes for his rescuer and former years-long caretaker, Southside Sandi; when he sees her a switch flips and a totally difference cat emerges. We are all thinking about donning red wigs to try to win him over into our good graces:)

We will keep you updated on his/her progress, and in the meantime, send good vibes his way!
