🌰 Meet Hazel – Beautiful, Bashful, and All About Her Fellow Felines
Hazel is a stunning 3.5-year-old torbie with a heart that beats strongest for her fellow cats. Trapped as an older kitten, Hazel missed out on early human socialization—but she’s made strides at the shelter and continues to blossom at her own pace.
She’s not a lap cat (and might never be), but she is the kind of cat who will light up at the sight of a laser pointer, pounce with enthusiasm on feather toys, and thrive in the company of other cats. Hazel is a true "cat's cat"—she loves to snuggle, follow, and play with her feline friends.
Hazel is looking for a very special adopter: someone with patience, compassion, and a quiet home where she can continue to learn that people aren’t so scary. She’ll need to start off in a crate while she adjusts and will take time (and possibly treat bribes) to get comfortable. Right now, petting is reserved for mealtimes, and that may always be the case—but if you’ve got the heart to love a work-in-progress, Hazel is worth the wait.
She’d do best in a home with another outgoing and confident cat who can show her the ropes and help her feel safe. With the right feline buddy and a human who understands her boundaries, Hazel has a real shot at growing into the confident cat she was meant to be.
Do you have room in your heart for a shy beauty who just needs a little extra time and a lot of love? Hazel’s waiting. 💛
Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home.
