Notes from Sheltering Hands, Inc
I’m Twix, a black‑and‑white boy with a gentle heart and a shy streak that runs deep. I’m the kind of kitty who likes to watch the world from a cozy hiding spot until I’m sure everything is safe and quiet. But if you rustle a Temptations bag? I can’t resist. I’ll peek out, inch closer, and before long you’ll have me right where you want me.
Once you start petting me, you’ll see the change happen — my shoulders loosen, my eyes soften, and that quiet little purr starts rolling. I don’t mind being picked up, but I’m happiest when my paws are back on the ground. I love playing with my sibling, too. I was a bit food‑protective at first, but separate bowls fixed that right up.
I’m a kitty who needs patience, kindness, and time to settle into new situations. I won’t be the first to run up and greet you, but I will be the one who slowly learns to trust you, relax with you, and show you my sweetest self. And once I do, I promise — I’ll be worth every moment you spent helping me feel safe.
Estimated Birthday: 4/9/2026
