CITRUS

My story

Citrus:She was a good mama to the kittens she was found with. She came to the shelter as a stray, so we have no background or history for her. She can be a playful girl. Citrus is easily stressed or overwhelmed during transitions. She is looking for an adopter who is willing to give her as much time as she needs to settle in - it could be a couple of days, weeks, or longer. Her success will be dependent on how well her adopters are able to read and appropriately respond to her body language. It is recommended that she be set up in her own space to start (an extra bedroom or bathroom, for example). Choose a space that people or animals do not have access to unless you are going in to clean or feed. She should be left alone initially as she adjusts. Her space should include plenty of hiding places, ideally with access to a vertical surfaces as well like a cat tree or a cat-proofed shelf, and easy access to a litter box, food, and water. She can gradually be given access to the home only when she is confidently moving about her environment and remains confident with relaxed body language when you go in to spend time with her. Citrus may be conflicted about close handling/petting, especially as she is settling in. Think of her as a pet herself on you kind of cat until she is more comfortable - meaning she should always be allowed to initiate an interaction with you vs. you going up to pet her.
