He’ll be fine. Cats do things on THEIR terms, when THEY are ready, not yours and not when you are. They are wonderful and affectionate beings once they develop a bond with you and you’ve earned their trust. And yes, you must earn that trust. It won’t come easily, but that’s also what makes it so special and meaningful once you do.

You’re doing a wonderful thing giving him a loving home. Trust me, it’s not overlooked by him. Cats very definitely know, appreciate (in their own way) and keep track of all the things you do for them.

Don’t declaw. It’s extremely cruel.

Good luck! Pics?
