This adorable grey-tabby boy is around 2 years old. Patrick has lived outside most of his life and hasn’t had much hands-on time, so he’s super shy with new people. He secretly loves to be petted though, and, given the opportunity and space to feel comfortable, he soon lets that be known. Patrick will do very well in a calm, low-energy home where he can come around to people at his own pace. He might even enjoy the company of another household kitty. Visit Patrick today at Orange County’s Animal Services Center, 1601 Eubanks Road, Chapel Hill or call 942-PETS (7387).
