When the cat was put in the carrier, it started behaving like a little “businessman” and then reverted to its normal self when someone came to help it.

Earlier this year, a black and white cat was found in a carrier at a hockey game, where it remained huddled quietly and nobody came to claim it.
A local veterinarian was at the stadium when she came across an abandoned cat. She couldn’t bring herself to leave the cat alone and brought him home. Hungry and scared, the cat, named Tyson, was crouching on the ground and devouring food from his dish.
Being in a carrier or kennel was too much for him, so he would sneak into the food bowl at the vet’s office and try to hide there.

Tyson needed a quiet place where he could relax and let his true personality shine, so a veterinary staff member volunteering with the Community Cat Club contacted her shelter to ask if they could help the cat.
Community Cat Club founder Sarah Sharp quickly put Tyson up for adoption, hoping to find a quiet home where he could relax and be himself.

“He was stressed at first and even pulled his own fur,” Sarah told LoveMeow. “We were desperately trying to find a home for him where he could settle down.”
A volunteer saw the post and offered to take him in. Tyson arrived wary, peering around anxiously to get a feel for his new space.

The fear in his eyes disappeared as he realized he had food within reach, a soft blanket and bed to sleep on, and kind humans to reassure him he was safe. Slowly, he let his guard down and surprised everyone by revealing his true self.
“After about a week of living with foster parents, his true personality started to emerge.”

Tyson has become a source of joy and laughter, and with his newfound confidence he has begun to sit on the bed or couch like a little human, with his front paws neatly placed on my lap.
“He’s the epitome of an independent cat. He has a sense of humor that will make you laugh and often shows off his funny antics when you least expect it. Tyson’s gentle personality makes him the perfect companion for quiet evenings at home.”

He is always seen casually leaning on his subordinates like a well-dressed and proper “businessman,” resting his elbow on them as if deep in thought, contemplating his next antics.
“He’s also a very cuddly little guy and once he warms up to you he’ll snuggle up for a heartwarming cuddle session.”

Tyson thrives as a lone cat, the center of attention in his own domain. He follows everyone in the room with his eyes as if they were his full-time supervisor, always ready for a purr, a snuggle, or a chin scratch.
He knows he’ll never be able to get out again, so he has no desire to hide anymore.

With his trust and hope restored, Tyson spends his days relaxing and napping beside his owner, before waking up and getting up to work.
“Tyson is a bit independent and prefers being the only cat in the house.”

“This unique combination of characteristics makes him a one-of-a-kind companion. He will bring endless fun, love and comfort to your home.”
After spending about four months in foster care, Tyson is ready to find his forever home where he will be loved and pampered endlessly.
