About Eugene

Eugene is around 5 years old. He is shy but sweet. Eugene needs time to settle into a new environment and will run and hide from strangers at first. He loves to be petted and will purr loudly during petting. Eugene will make biscuits in your lap. It will take time for Eugene to get comfortable in a new environment and with new people, it will be months to years but it will happen.

Eugene loves to brush up against another cat or a dog or his human. He takes his time to get to know someone, he will walk in large circles around a person and closely close the distance to allow you to pet him. Once he knows you are his friend, he will brush up against you more often for affection. When he is comfortable with you, he will start to sit next to you on the couch or lay down next to you in bed.

Eugene enjoys his people time but it is when he wants affection. He is not a fan of being picked up at random. He is much comfortable at getting attention and affection when he seeks it out. When he wants to be in your lap, he will brush up against your leg or sit down next to your leg and purr. That's when you can be quick and scoop him up and let him be in your lap while you pet him. When you see his tongue sticking out is when you know he is relax and enjoying the petting. His purrs are loud when he is enjoying the love.

He has one eye slightly larger than the other. He has seen an optometrist and the issue was determined to not be glaucoma but perhaps something happened when he was a kitten. Does not appear to cause him pain or discomfort. The eye pressure is within normal limits.

Eugene should be in a home with another animal. He likes to be next to a cat or dog for support, comfort, and companionship. He will sometimes chase after a cat to play or groom. We don't think he is ideal for apartments because of his shyness. He has had two failed adoptions in an apartment environment and he was stressed out the entire time with what we think is lack of room to observe the adopter from a distance and slowly come around.
