Story
Merry Christmas, friends, fans, and shelter family!My name is Banks, and I want to share my story in hopes of finding my perfect forever home. I became homeless on September 6, 2024, when I was found as a stray hanging out near a busy street. Thankfully, I was brought to the shelter for safety. I wasn’t microchipped, neutered, or claimed by anyone, but I was healthy and ready for a new chapter in life.Now, I’m neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and living the good life in the catio with all my feline friends. I love being around other cats—we just click! Life at the shelter has been peaceful, but I’ve been dreaming of a cozy home to call my own.In October, I got a brief glimpse of what life could be like when I was adopted by a kind young lady who lived in a school dormitory. It seemed like a happy ending at first, but unfortunately, dorm life just wasn’t my scene. It was a bit too noisy and chaotic for me, with people constantly coming and going.After only one night, I found myself overwhelmed. During a stressful moment, I lashed out and bit her roommate’s hand when she tried to pet me. I didn’t mean to—I was just so anxious and overstimulated. The next morning, I returned to the shelter, where I immediately relaxed, felt safe, and slipped back into my old routine.Now, I know a little more about what I need: a quiet home where I can unwind without too much foot traffic. I’d love a feline companion to groom and play with—other cats really help me feel at ease. I’m not a mean cat, I promise. I just need the right environment to thrive and show my sweet, affectionate side.I know my perfect home is out there, and that’s why I agreed to tell my story. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who adores other cats and prefers a peaceful life, I could be the one for you. Come meet me—I’m ready to find my forever family.
