Siamese kittens & cats in Hood River, Oregon

Boo is a spicy little Siamese who came to us after being rescued from someone’s backyard with her brothers. Born in early October, she had to fight hard to survive those first weeks of life, and it shows—she’s been on guard ever since. Because of that rough start, Boo is still pretty mad at the world and everything in it. Our volunteers have been giving her gentle, consistent one-on-one time, and while we’ve seen the tiniest glimmers of progress, she’s still not comfortable being handled safely, even with gloves. She’s not yet swayed by our usual secret weapon—Churru treat sticks—but we’re not giving up. We’ll continue working with her through slow, thoughtful enrichment, hoping that with time, patience, and the right person, Boo will learn that the world isn’t so scary. Her siblings have already blossomed, and we believe there’s a sweet side to Boo too—she just needs more time to feel safe enough to show it.

H-hi there. I'm known as Tiramisu. I'm a shy, nervous little gal who's working on being brave and opening herself up to the world. There's so much out there and I'm just one little cat--it can be almost too much to take in at times! Regardless, no matter how scared I am, I'm going to try, because I hope to one day find the purrfect family to snuggle and cuddle with. I have learned although scary at first, I really, REALLY love pets. My human friends here at the shelter like to say I'm dancing when I show them how much I enjoy head rubs and cheek scritches. I've also heard that I'm very, very soft, like a marshmallow or a little cloud! If you'd like to meet me and see if we're a good fit, stop by the shelter today!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 need to meet them before going home.

Here's what you need to know about me:I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.I have some handling sensitivity. I don't especially like to be held and have some preferences about how and where I get petted.

My foster knows me better than anyone! Here's what they had to say about me during my time with them: This is one magnificent lady! She is sweet tempered and absolutely gorgeous adding elegance to any room she chooses to lounge in showing off her thick coat and magnificent tail. Lily is a bit reserved and prefers not to be held but she does enjoy being petted and rubbed under the chin. If you are gentle and patient, she will jump up next to you lay down and purr while she softly kneads you with her paws. She likes being with people and will be found lying on the floor in the middle of the action watching with her big beautiful blue eyes. Primary Color: Lynx Point Weight: 10.2 Age: 2yrs 2mths 1wks
