Savannah may initially be shy when encountering new people and unfamiliar surroundings. With the right person, Savannah's shy nature can gradually transform into trust and companionship! One of Savannah's favorite activities is being brushed - the soothing sensation of being groomed brings her joy and helps her relax. Providing her with regular grooming sessions will not only keep her coat healthy but also create a special bond between the two of you. She also loves perching on a cat tree and gazing out the window, although her favorite past-time is snuggling up under a cozy blanket and taking a nap! If you are someone who understands the importance of patience and giving Savannah the time she needs, you have the potential to be the perfect match. With your understanding, Savannah will gradually emerge from her shell. Adopt Savannah today! Don't forget to bring a cat carrier to take her home.

How this pet arrived: Pig was brought into care by his previous owner on October 22, 2023.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Pig, a seasoned feline searching for a home to match his calm disposition. Initially reserved, Pig may take a few weeks to really show his affectionate side, but once he does, watch out! This kitty thrives on companionship, whether nestled right next to you, on your lap, or sharing the bed with you for a little nap, he always wants to be near his people. While he gets along well with fellow feline friends and small animals, dogs make him a tad uneasy. Pig, a sensitive soul, tends to seek refuge in hiding spots during chaotic moments, making a tranquil home without young kids or frequent visitors ideal for him. He loves to explore and nap in cozy cubbies, has a quirky habit of exploring cabinets, and will occasionally play with toys when his napping is complete. Pig will bring love to any household ready to provide him the peaceful haven he deserves! Interested in adopting? Ask about Pig today!
