A mysterious little shadow with a heart that’s waiting for the right person.
Artemis is a fully black, handsome male cat who prefers to take the world at his own pace.
He’s unsure about most people at first and needs time to feel safe—but for a very loving and patient individual, Artemis could become the most meaningful companion.
He’s the kind of cat who quietly observes from the sidelines, learning whom he can trust and when.
Don’t let his cautious nature fool you, though—Artemis is wonderfully curious and has a playful streak that comes out when you least expect it. Especially if treats are involved!
If you believe the best bonds are built slowly, gently, and with lots of love, Artemis may be your perfect match.
He’s waiting for someone who understands that trust is a gift—and once earned, it’s priceless.

Shy at first, Inkling has a special talent for finding the gentlest soul in the household—and once she does, you become her person.
