Rescue

My story

My foster writes:This beautiful lady is straight out of the Gilded Age, with a majestic ruff and a bustle of a tail. Rescue likes adoration, admiration, affection, and attention, and possibly will deign to sit in your lap some evenings. At ten years old, Rescue is a charismatic and mercurial grande dame who is as likely to bunt your hand in polite request as deliver a playful swat or light nibble. She is a confident cat with strong boundaries, and would prefer a home with properly deferential adults.My other foster writes:I'm ten years old, and I've had a rough time recently. My person died,and there were other changes in my situation that I didn't handle well.Things have been pretty scary and upsetting, and I'm quite shaken.What I would like is a quiet home where I can be my beautiful self andtake things at my own pace. I'm not great with children and I might findother pets scary. I'd do best with calm adults who will respect myboundaries and be very patient with me. I may hide when you first takeme home; even when I start to feel more comfortable, I'll probably spendmost of my time curled up somewhere I feel safe, like a closet.I'm very clean, I use my litter box and my scratching post, and I don'tbreak things. I like people, and once I feel safe around you I'll sit inyour lap and purr. But I'm not always comfortable being petted, and if Iget overstimulated I could scratch or bite.I'm a long-term project. I will need time and space to adjust. But whenI do, I think you'll be very happy to have me in your home. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 8.8 Age: 10yrs 5mths 1wks
