Male Domestic Shorthair named Mandarin available for adoption

Meet Mandarin, a sweet and curious young cat who’s just starting to come into his own. Like his brother Nectarine, Mandarin is still learning to fully trust people — but he’s a little braver, often stepping forward first while his brother hangs back to watch.

Mandarin allows gentle pets and is slowly getting more comfortable with human attention. He’s the kind of cat who notices everything, quietly observing before deciding the coast is clear, and then making the first move. His calm, steady nature has been a source of comfort for his more cautious brother, and the two share a close, trusting bond.

Mandarin would love a patient home where he can keep building on the progress he’s already made, ideally alongside Nectarine or another cat who helps him feel secure. With time and kindness, Mandarin will show you just how much love a shy cat has to give.
