Cole is a little shadow of a cat, a petite coal-colored boy who moves through the world at his own unhurried pace, believing that trust is something best built slowly, one quiet moment at a time. He has known the comfort of other cats and would love a calm feline friend—perhaps even one of his shelter buddies—to share peaceful days with, spent perched high above his kingdom and watching life drift by. Cuddles aren’t his style, but he speaks fluently in soft blinks and gentle curiosity, especially when the rustle of a Churu or the promise of sardines in water appears, or when his wet meals arrive a few times a day like cherished rituals. Cole finds joy in hushed conversations and being read to, and he dreams of a home free from chaos, where a patient person will let him unfold at his own pace and discover that quiet companionship can be its own kind of love.
