My name is Gemma!

Gemma is a five year old cat with lots of love to give, but she unfortunately has a lot of anxiety that leads to behavioral issues. She is great with adults that she has gotten to know, but it does take her a long time to become familiar with others. She becomes stressed out with other cats and children, and that stress usually leads to fights and swiping. Gemma needs a home with no children and no other cats (she is good with dogs!), and someone who is very patient and experienced with cats. She really is such a loving cat once she knows someone, but she needs a lot of time to get there. We love her so much, but our home has become a very stressful environment for her due to other cats and a newly mobile baby. Despite our efforts to separate her, we are unable to provide a stress free home for her while also keeping our baby safe because we recently had to move into a smaller place. We would really like her to find a home where she can be comfortable and relaxed all the time.
