My personality

My story

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

Pearl is a small, young, quiet kitty who is hoping to find just the right home for her needs. Pearl came to us from a hoarding situation so she wasn't socialized to humans when she was young. Due to this, Pearl is shy around people and uncomfortable being touched, but she finds great comfort in other cats. Therefore, she is looking for a quiet home, with a cat-experienced care-giver, and other felines that will welcome her into the fold.

Pearl came into our care when she was about 10 months old, and she turned 1 year in August. In the time that she's been with us Pearl has made some progress, but she still has a lot of opportunity to blossom. Pearl didn't have the best experiences with handling in the past, so she's nervous about being pet or picked up. If she's cornered and can't run away, she will tolerate some gentle pets, but if she has the opportunity to avoid your hands, she will. However, she absolutely loves the other cats. She sleeps with them, plays with them, and was even nursing two litters of kittens that didn't belong to her. Pearl would really like to be in a home with at least one other cat, but ideally a few friendly cats. Since Pearl came from a hoarding situation, she will be happy surrounded by other cats.

Due to the fact that Pearl can be nervous around loud sounds and fast movements, she needs to find an adult-only home. One with a serene energy will be best for her. It will also be important that Pearl's new family have cat experience to help guide her as she grows socially. It will be important for Pearl to be in a home without children or dogs.
