My story

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

I'll be honest with you - my courage comes in very small doses right now. New homes and unfamiliar faces send me straight into "invisible cat" mode, even though part of me desperately wants to come out and play. I'm looking for a family who won't let me become a permanent furniture decoration, but will instead help me practice being brave one pawstep at a time. With gentle encouragement and maybe some strategic treat placement, I know I can learn that the world is full of good things worth coming out for.

Here's what you need to know about me:

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I have some handling sensitivity. That means I have some preferences about how and where I get petted. My human friends at the shelter can tell you more!

If there are kids in my new home, I prefer them to be older than 10 and would like to meet them before going home. An adoption counselor can tell you more.
