About Dexter
Handsome Dexter is a gorgeous all-black cat who was rescued in South Brooklyn. We can tell he someone's pet at some time, but either being outside for a long time or suffering abuse in his past has made him shy. He must start in a confined space where he can't hide and with a human who is willing to spend time petting him and building his confidence. You can see by the video, he is a sweet guy who loves petting and is just waiting for that moment to trust completely. He truly relishes the touch and loves having his butt skritched, too!

Dexter is about 4 years old and healthy. He is neutered, tested fiv/felv negative, up to date on vaccines and ready for a wonderful, kind furrever home.
