Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Greta had a great time with her foster family over Home for the Holidays. Here`s what they had to say about her: `Greta is a socially confident kitty when it comes to other cats! She integrated with our resident cat very quickly and was comfortable sharing perches, litter boxes, and even food bowls within just a few days. She would likely do well in a home with another calm, cat-savvy feline.
With humans, Greta is on the shy side at first. She can be skittish around sudden movements or close approaches, but once she feels safe and trusts you, she shows her softer side, rolling onto her back and enjoying gentle pets on her own terms. She’s a `slow and steady` kind of girl who bonds best with patient, respectful humans.
Greta is very food-motivated and loves wet or soft food. She’s a bit picky with dry food, but treats and meals are a great way to build trust and help her feel comfortable. She’s also an observant, introverted personality who prefers to watch before joining in especially when it comes to play. While she’s not a rough-and-tumble wrestler, she enjoys calm coexistence and choosing her moments carefully.
Greta would thrive in a quieter home with cat experience, gentle routines, and someone who appreciates a cat who blossoms over time.`
If you are interested in adopting Greta, please email her foster at theimmanuelfamily@gmail.com. It may take up to 48 hours for the foster to reply, so we thank you for your patience!
