Meet John Adams – The Fluffy, Anxious Historian Who Just Needs a Little Revolution of Trust John Adams is a stunning medium-hair kitty with the most luxurious mane, bottle-brush tail, and huge worried eyes that say “I have seen things.” Of the three founding fathers sharing the back kennel (him, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington), Adams is the one most likely to be camped outside the vari-kennel like a furry sentry… until a human appears. Then it’s instant “ABORT MISSION” and he tries to fold himself into the smallest possible loaf. He is shy to his very core — no hissing, no swatting, just pure liquid panic if hands come too close. Yet when it was time for flea meds, he allowed gentle handling with only a mild existential crisis. Progress! **Current comfort levels (still un-vetted, living in the quiet back):** - Petting: Not yet — will flee or freeze - Picking up: Only for medical necessities (he tolerates it, but his face says “this is a violation of the Constitution”) - Play: Secretly loves wand toys when he thinks no one is looking - Other cats: Finds enormous comfort in his two roommates. They groom each other, sleep in a patriotic pile, and take turns being the brave one. He would blossom fastest with at least one confident or familiar feline friend. John Adams needs exactly what the real one would have wanted: a calm republic with clear boundaries, no sudden movements, and a patient citizenry willing to let him draft his own bill of rights at his own pace. Give him: - a quiet adult home   - a safe room to start   - another friendly cat (ideally one of his founding brothers)   - and months of earning his trust   … and this anxious, fluffy statesman will one day become the most devoted lap cat in the colonies, purring the national anthem at 3 a.m. while kneading your blanket into submission. He will be neutered, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested and microchipped before adoption. If you’ve ever wanted to be the patient, gentle soul who turns a nervous medium-hair ghost into a confident, biscuit-making patriot, John Adams is ready (very slowly) to declare his independence — right into your heart. Extra stars and stripes if you keep the presidential suite together!
