My story

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

Pennington County Humane Society 



Zinger - A Gentle Soul Still Learning the World
Zinger is a young, unsocialized kitten who's just beginning to understand what safety and comfort feel like. She came to the shelter with very little experience around people, and right now she prefers quiet corners, slow movements, and plenty of space to observe from a distance. She isn't mean or aggressive — just unsure, cautious, and trying to make sense of a world that's still very new to her.

With patience, predictability, and a calm home, Zinger has every chance to grow into a more confident version of herself. Progress for kittens like her comes in tiny, meaningful steps: a soft blink, a moment of curiosity, a relaxed posture. Each one is a milestone worth celebrating.

Zinger would do best in a home that can offer:

A peaceful, dedicated safe space where she can decompress

Gentle, consistent interactions without pressure

A family that understands slow progress is still progress

Experience with shy or semi‑feral cats (or a willingness to learn)

She may never be a lap cat, but she absolutely deserves a home where she can feel secure, respected, and loved on her own terms. If you have a heart for the shy ones — the quiet souls who bloom slowly — Zinger might be the perfect match for you.

For more information about Zinger, please contact the Pennington County Humane Society at 218‑681‑8045.
