My story

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

Meet Jiji! This little lady is shy as can be right now, but with time we know she'll be ready to fly around on a broomstick and offer silly one-liners like her Kiki's Delivery Service namesake. In her previous home, Jiji also showed a little bit of shyness but is reported to be incredibly affectionate with her person when left alone. It takes her about 5 visits to get used to new people, and she generally has a preference for quieter souls willing to go at her pace. She is accustomed to living with other cats and would likely do well with feline friends in her forever home, given a proper slow introduction. She is also reported to be a very polite roommate and was not interested in furniture for anything but its intended use in her previous home. Jiji's perfect home looks like peace and quiet, patience, and plenty of decompression time to let this girl come out of her shell and shine as the affectionate lady she is! Some carrier training certainly wouldn't hurt either. Think Jiji could be the kitty for you? Come meet her today!
