—

– Has lived with other cats, and is also doing okay with a dog in her foster home

– Likes to occasionally share the couch with her humans, and ask for pets and snuggles

– A petite, quiet cat who will take time to settle into her new home

– Looking for a home with patient family members who will give her time to open up and let her take things at her own pace. She does best when she starts out in her own room and is slowly introduced to the rest of the house after a few days

– Has a lot of love to give and will be a terrific companion for a quiet person or two who will allow her to settle in at her own slow pace

– Will be a wonderful friend for a calm, patient person who loves the quiet life just like she does

– Young, busy children are just too much for her; she is looking for a home with adults only that is calm and peaceful

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, may need help getting used to a carrier, and may never enjoy being picked up and held. 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)
