My foster writes: Like the flower, Betulia is a beauty who needs a little to blossom. She's a shy, sensitive gal with so much potential. I have been fostering her for a month and she's made so much progress! At first she was hiding on top of my kitchen cabinet. Now she spends most of the time on the floor playing! She just needs extra time to settle in and feel safe. Betulia will be a wonderful cat!
Hi, my name is Betulia and the shelter has been a little overwhelming for me. I came from a home with many cats, who I've gotten along with well. Because I've lived in this home my entire life and have only been around one person, I have little experience with people and am hesitant of new experiences. I would enjoy living in a quiet home, preferably one with lots of vertical space so I have a place to perch and observe the room. I would also appreciate having experienced, patient adopter(s) who are willing to take things slow with me. I would benefit from socialization, using rewards whenever I make a small positive step like making eye contact, allowing petting, or sniffing your hand. I'd prefer to take things at my own pace, and would appreciate some good old fashion TLC. Some things I do enjoy here are a very slow considerate approach, and time by myself. If you can open your heart to adopt a cat like me, I'll hopefully have the confidence to come around to my new people, like you! Primary Color: Tabby Weight: 5.94 Age: 3yrs 6mths 2wks
