Yam is a two-year-old black kitty with a quiet, gentle soul and a shy personality. He’s the kind of boy who likes to take his time getting to know new people and surroundings, often choosing a cozy hiding spot while he figures things out. Though he may be reserved at first, Yam has a soft and sweet nature just waiting to shine through. With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, he’ll begin to trust and show his affectionate side in his own subtle ways. Yam would do best in a peaceful home with an adopter who understands that love doesn’t always happen instantly—but is so worth the wait. Once he feels safe, he has the potential to become a loyal and comforting companion. If you’re looking for a gentle, quiet friend who just needs a little time to bloom, Yam could be the perfect match for you.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
