Fearful cats

Settling in: Fearful cats may need extra time to adjust to a new home. Don’t be surprised if it takes several weeks for them to become comfortable in a new place. They may hide and just observe at first – maybe for quite a while – and that is perfectly normal.

Ideal home: Young children will likely be too much for them, so we highly recommend that they go to a quiet, mature home.

Resources: We are happy to speak to you more about fearful cats when you visit and will provide post-adoption resources, including our free Cat Behavior Helpline.

Adopt: If you can give these cats extra time, patience, and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch these cats gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!
