My story

Are you looking for a cat that is gorgeous to look at but you'd prefer not to touch? Is your perfect feline friend a strong independent woman who don't need no man? Do you have it in your hear to give a home to a gorgeous girl with a lot of potential who is VERY low maintenance? You're in luck - Shelly is the kitty girl for you!   Shelly is a beautiful, petite dilute calico with the biggest most expressive eyes. We don't know much about her background other than that she came to us as a nursing mama with SIX adorable baby kittens from a supposed hoarding situation. It's clear Shelly isn't feral, but whatever she's been through has made her very wary of humans. Shelly enjoys a cozy hiding space and isn't interested much in her foster fam. While she is a very shy girl, we can tell she is a sweet cat at heart and often greets her foster parents with the most precious little meow meows, especially when she'd like some food. She is starting to get better with gentle head pets and with the right home and time to build trust, we think she'll get even better. She is extremely low maintenance, likes to munch munch munch on food, is not a scratcher, and exellent with the litter box. There could not be an easier kitty to care for. She also seems to get along well with other kitties.   That said, while we're hopeful Shelly will continue to warm up and eventually come out of her shell, needs an adopter who is exceptionally patient, has experience with shy kitties and, is ultimately okay with having a cat they might not see that often or prefers to be on their own. Really though, who can blame her for wanting some peace, quiet, and space after birthing and caring for SIX babies!  Consider giving this special girl a chance and adding her to your family!  **If you are applying for a cat that needs a cat friend and you do not have another cat in the home or plan to adopt 2 cats, you application will not be processed** If you're interested in adopting this furrbaby, please fill out an application at https://forms.gle/2vMCSwUWQKVepqir5 All our animals are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped prior to adoption.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Shelly, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
