Additional Details
Connie and Kurt are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.
- Can be shy at first but has come a long way in her time with us and now loves pets and attention
- Will ask for belly rubs
- Loves playing with toys and lounging on her cat bed
- Loud noises and commotion are too much for her, so she's looking for a calm, quiet home with people who will give her plenty of time to settle in; a more mature home may be most comfortable for her, as well
- Stressed around dogs (happiest with no canines)
- Please plan on starting her and her buddy in one room of your home and giving her quite a bit of time (possibly weeks) to become comfortable with that area and with you before allowing her access to larger areas of the home; this process will help set her up for success by not overwhelming her
This cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen good progress here at the ARL, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!
This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!
All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
