Monte

Monte came to Revelation Gardens as an adult after being found on his own. We don’t know much about his life before he arrived, but we’ve had the privilege of getting to know the boy he is today.

When Monte first came to us, he was an unneutered tom with a strong, dominant personality. After being neutered and settling into life at Revelation Gardens, that tough tom exterior softened and we discovered a very sweet boy underneath.

At one point, we took Monte to an off-site adoption center in hopes of helping him find a home. The experience was difficult for him. After several days, we brought him back to the sanctuary, and we’ve noticed that he’s been quieter and more reserved ever since.

So now we listen to what Monte has shown us.

He enjoys being petted and spending time with people he knows, but he needs time to become familiar with someone before he’s ready to let them in. He isn’t a cat who should be rushed into a new environment and expected to immediately show his true personality.

For Monte, feeling safe comes first.

We believe he’d do best with a patient person and a peaceful, predictable home where he can settle in at his own pace. A home of his own could suit him beautifully, although a calm, compatible cat may also be a possibility.

Monte is healthy, neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

Monte may not show you everything he has to offer the first time you meet him. Give this quiet boy the time and safety he needs, though, and you’ll have the chance to know the sweet cat we’ve come to love.
