Tate is a shy soul with a cautious heart and a watchful gaze. When you first meet him, he prefers the safety of a quiet hiding spot, observing from a distance as he takes his time to figure you out. He’s not unfriendly—just thoughtful, making sure the world (and you) are as nice as he hopes. But once you’ve earned his trust, Tate transforms. The nervous little observer becomes an affectionate, tender companion who seeks out closeness and comfort. He’s the kind of cat who makes you feel special for being chosen. And when it comes to catnip? Tate’s love is strong. It’s his ultimate joy, bringing out his playful, carefree side in full force—a reminder that beneath his shy exterior is a sweet, happy spirit just waiting to shine.

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.
