She’s not the first to run up and say hello—but give her a little time, a gentle voice, and a few treats, and you’ll see her confidence bloom.Rosita is a careful observer of the world. Once she decides you’re safe, she turns on the charm: loud, happy purrs and sweet little rubs against your hand to ask for affection. She’s soft, gentle, and worth getting to know.This little lady is looking for a home that understands that good things take time. If you’re willing to move at Rosita’s pace and celebrate small wins, she promises to meet you with growing trust, cozy moments, and lots of quiet love.Think you might be her person? Rosita would love to find out!
