In September 2013 the local Community Peace Officer and a compassionate local citizen collaborated in order to try to trap and save some eight-week old kittens. The litter of kittens was headed for disaster as the cold weather approached.<\/p>\n
We could tell immediately that it would be a challenge to help Hobbs dispel his deep-rooted fear of humans. but we never give up on an animal and vowed not to now.<\/p>\n
It took a couple of years just for Hobbs to feel safe enough to venture out to mingle for short periods within the SPCA. When he did, he seemed to enjoy a very little bit of petting and attention.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
To date due to his quiet and shy demeanor, Hobbs has been passed by for adoption. Hobbs will do best in a quiet home with no other pets. This will allow him to get to know his new family with no distractions and realize that \u201cliving\u201d needn\u2019t be terrifying \u2013 that he is safe and respected. He will purr sometimes but sadly we have NEVER heard his voice! Contrary to the old saying, \u201cman of few words\u201d Hobbs is a little man of \u201cNO words\u201d (at least not yet!).<\/p>\n
It is unlikely Hobbs will ever be a cuddly companion but he does have a special way of looking at you and perhaps curling up next to you to show his affection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When you hold him, he likes to be as close as possible to you and often will push his head into the crook of your neck. That\u2019s when you may hear his faint purr of contentedness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
