"Once Peanut gets to know you, he is trusting, gentle, and forms strong bonds with his people," officials wrote in a statement. "He does need time to warm up to new individuals and would do best with an experienced owner who understands the importance of patience and consistency."

Additionally, Animal Control believes that Peanut "would be best suited for a home without other pets or children, where he can feel secure and build confidence at his own pace."

Earlier this month, Fairfield Animal Control successfully found new owners for a pair of senior cats.

Those interested in possibly adopting Peanut are urged to contact Fairfield Animal Control at 203-254-4857 to schedule an appointment to meet him.
