The female cat isn’t the friendliest right now, but it’s only because she’s overwhelmed and terrified by all the new sights, smells, and unfamiliar cats around her. She keeps her distance, tense and unsure, trying to protect herself in a place that still feels foreign. Her nerves may come out as hissing or swatting, but beneath that fear is a cat who just needs time, patience, and a quiet corner to feel safe again. As she slowly adjusts and realizes she’s not in danger, her walls will begin to soften—and with understanding and gentle care, she can learn to trust and settle into her new world at her own pace.
