Po

About Po

If anyone knows of a couple with no kids or other pets and NOT planning to have any, or an older person looking for a companion please message me. We are NOT simply getting rid of Po to anyone. He is my sweetest boy and this is the hardest and saddest thing to even think of. But he simply is NOT thriving or adapting to us having a baby at all. It has been 7 months since we brought the baby home. We are more than willing to even do a transition period and if he doesn’t warm up to his new home we will take him back! We do NOT want to get rid of him, but he spends all day and night in his litter closet hiding. And that breaks my heart, that’s not a life. 100% transparency, he does not like many people, he takes a while to warm up. He will most definitely not like whoever takes him at first, and will need someone who is patient and willing to build a relationship with him on his terms. BUT when you’re his people he is the sweetest most affectionate cuddly boy. He is hilarious, he loves playing, especially with toys. He loves sitting in the windows, and he LOVES eating and will try to trick you into feeding him multiple meals. We’ve tried calming pheromones, anxiety treats, blocking off the areas he could hide, bringing him around the baby when he’s quiet and calm and Po is just NOT coping, the second the baby even takes a deep breath Po is OUT. Even when the baby is napping Po won’t come out of the closet. If i block the closet he will hide under the cat bed or couch cushions in a ball. He is insanely stressed and not at all able to live the way he used to. Vet check ruled out any health issues. It is all related to baby. The week we were away in Mexico he came out and was loving to our friend caring for him. He’s always been a scaredy cat, but I just don’t see him coming around to the baby. It’s been 7 months. If the circumstances are not what I think he needs, we will be keeping him and hoping he eventually comes around, this is not just a get him off our hands post. I’m desperately searching for a cat person with the right circumstances that’s willing to take a chance and help my boy.
