Story
Meet Mama Shower aka Buttons!
This sweet little lady had a rough start to life, but she has been a trooper. She is down a leg and may have some trauma to work through as a result, but she is still so eager to love and be loved.
Shower is a petite, young adult cat looking for a calm, quiet home with a lot of patience and understanding to help her adjust to her new life. She is very nervous about new things, people, and places (who can blame her, really?) and requires an adopter who can respect her boundaries while she builds her confidence in a new environment. She loves head scratches and belly rubs, but it takes her a while to build up her trust, and she requires someone who understands that trust is an ongoing process for her. Fortunately, she is very food motivated and can easily be bribed with Churrus and wet food to help speed things along. She also adores other animals, and another calm, confident critter in the house will help convince her that her people can be trusted.
Some other adorable Shower facts:
She is a chatterbox and is always chirping about something. She will sit up like a prairie dog and "boop" you in the arm or face if she wants attention. She loves to (very playfully) nibble on fingers as a sign of affection.
She is doing very well adjusting to life on three legs but does have a harder time with jumping, so will need lots of layers to help her explore.
The bottom line is that Shower is a wonderful cat who wants to be loved, but she is still learning how to exist in a non-hostile environment. She will need time, grace, and patience as she learns to trust her new family.
Shower is fixed, microchipped, FIV/FeLv negative, and up to date on vaccinations for her age.
