Story
Meet Cocoa 🐾Cocoa is a beautiful young black cat with soft eyes and a tender heart. Right now, the world feels like a big, scary place to her. She's very shy and under-socialized, which means she's still learning that humans can be kind, patient, and safe.Cocoa isn't the kind of cat who will run up to greet you on day one - or day ten. She needs a calm, quiet home with someone who truly understands that trust isn't automatic for her. What is automatic, though, is her potential. With time, consistency, and lots of patience, Cocoa has the ability to blossom into a deeply loyal companion who forms a special bond with her person.She's looking for a home that will let her move at her own pace, celebrate small victories, and understand that progress may come in tiny steps. No pressure, no rushing - just love, routine, and respect for her boundaries.If you're the kind of person who believes the most meaningful relationships are the ones you earn, Cocoa may be your perfect match. Give her the time she needs, and she just might become your next best friend Primary Color: Black Weight: 2.3 Age: 0yrs 4mths 2wks

I have the cutest white mittens and love to make air biscuits and purr away when I’m getting pets. I get along well with other cats and small dogs. Don’t be fooled if I’m cautious at first - once I warm up I am very loving with the people I know! I am never far from my foster mom and love to jump up for a cuddle when she sits down to watch tv, or gets into bed. I would do well in a quieter home and would love to keep you company!***ADOPTION INFORMATION: The adoption fee of $295 per feline includes a veterinary exam, parasites treatment, spay/neuter, vaccination and microchip.
