Valerie

My story

Valerie was rescued as an expecting mother and had her babies safely in-house just 1 week later. She was afraid of people and kept her distance, but was a good mother to her kittens. Once they were adopted, we began socializing Valerie one-on-one in a foster home. She was very timid and it took her awhile to understand human attention. Once she figured it out, now she can't get enough. She loves to be pet while she rolls and flops, and purrs with delight. If you stop, she will reach out and gently tap your hand so that you will continue. She got comfortable with that little routine for awhile, but now she has progressed to seeking out the attention... coming to you for pets, instead of just waiting for you at her safe spaces. She is enjoying her more recent discovery that she can make herself seen and good things will happen. She cohabitates in foster with other cats and has learned from watching them interact with people, playing and having fun. Now she finally 'gets it' that she can have that too. They are friendly and have always tried to include her, but she remains independent of them. She just wants a person she can go to and have the attention all to herself. She is ready for more than foster can give, and will do very well as an only pet in a calm, quiet environment. She is very sweet and lovable. She has worked hard to be ready for this, and has waited patiently for the reward. She will be a very loyal companion to someone who can show her she's important. Let's get this beautiful girl into a loving home where she can finally have it all. Valerie is a petite, light-silver tabby, and is extra soft like a bunny. About 3-4 years old, fixed and fully vetted.
