My story

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

My foster knows me better than anyone! Here's what they had to say about me during my time with them: Tilda is a shy cat who is still learning to feel safe and confident in her environment. She has formed a bond with the older child in the home and can enjoy gentle interaction, but she has firm boundaries and can become overstimulated, sometimes using her mouth to communicate when she's had enough. Tilda is fearful of new people and the other cats in the household and will hide or hiss when she feels overwhelmed. She is not a fan of being picked up and may scratch if handled when she's uncomfortable, so she'll do best with an experienced, patient adopter who understands feline body language and is willing to let her set the pace. Tilda would thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home where she can have her boundaries respected while being given time to continue building trust in her own time.


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.


If there are kids in my new home, I need them to be older than 6 and must meet them before going home. An adoption counselor can tell you more.


I need a slow introduction to cats. I can share my space with cats, but I'd like to get used to the idea over time.
