Shelter life is tough with the loud noises, unfamiliar smells, and constant change. The stress can cause animals to hide their true personalities and result in them waiting longer for a home.

This is what is happening to a frightened cat named Frock.

The seven-year-old cat was found abandoned outside of Humane Society of Broward County, where he was adopted from years before. The staff immediately brought him inside and put him in a kennel to adjust to his new surroundings. 

However, he is struggling to relax and is afraid of everything. The shelter hopes to find him a quiet home soon. They wrote, "Loud or unfamiliar noises can startle him, and when he doesn’t have a safe place to hide, he can become distressed. Beneath that fear is a gentle, affectionate cat who wants to trust. When given patience and a calm space, Frock begins to relax. He enjoys being petted and, in quieter moments, will even settle in close and lean into your touch. Once he feels a connection, he shows it in the sweetest ways, nudging your hand for more affection and staying close by your side."

This poor fella has lost his family and his home and he doesn't understand why. He is looking for a family who will give him time to adjust and love him unconditionally. He promises the same in return.
