---
- Sweet girl who enjoys sunbathing on a bed or exploring - and when she is done napping, she will ask for pets
- She doesn't mind a belly rub, and adores pets and cheek scritches, but doesn't like quick movements toward her face
- Prefers not to be picked up
- Has lived with other cats, but will do best with a calm, laid back cat that is not in her face all the time
- Likes to play with anything on a string or toys that crinkle
- Is good about using her cardboard scratcher, and will need at least one in her new home
- Young, busy children will likely be too much for her, so she is looking for a more mature home, with people who will let her open up as she feels comfortable
This cat came from a situation where they did not get the socialization that house cats typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may be fearful in new situations and when meeting new people, and may need help getting used to a carrier. Since this cat has lived with other cats, they may benefit from having another cat friend to help them build confidence and show them the ropes. You can find more info here about cats from hoarding situations and how to work with them to set them up for success.
All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
