Meet Bonita, a 6-year-old Calico beauty who came to PAC on April 11, 2025, after her owner moved. Her previous person described her as a “feral cat” who had lived in a bedroom for four years and only tolerated limited affection — but once Bonita arrived, we quickly learned that wasn’t the full story.
Bonita wasn’t feral — she was frightened. When she first came in, she growled (classic Calico sass ??), but never once tried to bite. In fact, our staff were able to pet her right away. All she needed was a little safety and understanding.
Bonita is FIV positive, but she’s otherwise healthy and living her best “indoor diva” life. In her foster home, she’s still learning that the world isn’t so scary. One sudden sound or curious pet sends her back to her favorite hideaway — earning her the affectionate nickname “the closet gremlin.” She’s a sensitive soul who thrives on calm energy, patience, and a predictable routine.
She would do best in a quiet, cat-savvy home where she can set her own pace. She may hide at first, and she might hiss when startled, but she never acts aggressively — she’s just telling you she needs a moment to adjust.
