My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nearly a kitten herself, Rainbow is a sweet young empty nester who is on the hunt for her own perfect home now that her kittens have found theirs. And that perfect home would preferably include a social and affectionate cat. Rainbow really likes feline companionship. Who can blame her?

Rainbow is currently enjoying her playful independent phase and trying to figure out humans. She is a bit skeptical that hands are really ready to pet her, but she absolutely loves it when she allows herself to trust. (Watch her videos!) She would do best in a quieter home with adults and older children. Most important, though, is to live with a confident, friendly cat who can continue to show her the ropes and break down her protective shell. Being around another cat who interacts well with their humans has already given her confidence. A little more time and patience and she will blossom into the affectionate cat she so badly wants to be.
