My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Val.  I was about four months old and all alone when I was rescued from the street.  I was very, very scared, and after coming to SBACC, I went to a foster home so I could get used to people and other cats.  I spent about six weeks in foster care and then came back to SBACC.  I’ve adjusted to my room and roommates at SBACC, but I still don’t welcome pets or being picked up.  Twinkle, another shy cat, and I have become best friends, and it would be wonderful if we could find a home together.  It will need to be a quiet forever home and with a family who understands shy cats and will have lots of patience and give us plenty of time to adjust and feel comfortable.  That’s Twinkle and me in one of the pics.
