Sweetie

My story

A volunteer writes:Sweetie is a young and gorgeous Calico girl who came to us with many other cats, all of them quite shy and in shock to have lost their home and family. Sweetie was "frozen" in place at the back of her kennel for quite a while but started to bloom like a flower in the snow, slowly but surely. She is still timid, needs some coaxing, gentle words and slow petting. She cares for treats but personal attention is what she is looking for. Sweetie slides on her side and eases herself slowly toward me. Her head is in my hand and she stretches her legs and back, telling me that she is happy and comfortable with our encounter(see her video). I know she needs more "work" but she is getting there. An understanding and loving owner and a low traffic home would likely bring back the lovely cat her former family describes as beautiful, laid back while playful and affectionate. Sweetie is already spayed and could go home..today!I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.Sweetie tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
