Sandy had a tough start, growing up hiding in a machine shop, he was covered in dirt and grease when he was found at about three months old. At first he was very wary of people but with the help of his foster parents he has made a lot of progress in his socialization and he now enjoys being petted, often purrs, and sometimes likes to sit in a person's lap. But he is still cautious and shy and will need some time to warm up to and trust new people. If you have some previous experience with cats and you have the patience to let Sandy move at his own pace, and you can wait until he comes to you, he will be a wonderful pet!
