Garfunkel has been adopted!!!
He arrived at the shelter over a year ago and was extremely frightened by his new surroundings. He then spent eight months in a foster home learning to trust and coming out of his shell. He's been back at the shelter for a few months and he has gone from always hiding (but welcoming attention) to pretty social (though still a little shy).
The progress this cat has made just blows my mind. And today his hard work and patience was rewarded when his forever family was lucky enough to find him.
