Age: 8 Years 7 Months | Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Tuxedo (short coat) | Sex: Male | Coat: Short | Indoor/Outdoor: Indoor Only  Meet Brayden – A Gentle Soul Looking for a Fresh Start  Brayden’s story is one of resilience and second chances. Originally adopted from Pet Rescue By Judy in 2017, this sweet boy lived several years in a home—only to be heartbreakingly left at a kill shelter in June 2025. Thankfully, his microchip brought him back to us, and as soon as we got the call, we rushed to bring him safely back into our care.  Brayden is a soft, shy cat who is understandably confused. After years in a home, he now finds himself back in a shelter environment, unsure of what happened or why. Because he wasn’t surrendered directly to us, we don’t have details about his most recent life or any of his preferences. What we do know is that he is kind, quiet, and deserving of love.  He’s still adjusting, taking his time to feel safe again. With a patient, understanding family, we believe Brayden will slowly open up and rediscover the comfort of a calm and caring home. He’s not the kind of cat to run up for attention right away—but give him time, and you may just find a loyal companion who truly blossoms when he knows he’s safe.
