Katya

My story

Meet Katya – A Quiet Winter Companion Like fresh snow settling softly at dawn, Katya is a gentle, sensitive girl who shows affection in her own calm, understated way. At 4½ years old, she has made beautiful progress in foster care, slowly learning that safety and warmth can be found in steady routines and shared space. While Katya remains skittish and does not tolerate direct hand approaches, she builds trust the way winter deepens: gradually, peacefully, and with intention. If startled, she may dart away like a quick winter breeze, but she returns just as quickly once she knows the coast is clear. Katya’s affection is subtle and meaningful. She weaves around the legs of her chosen person, chirps softly like snow crunching underfoot, and walks alongside you with a gently quivering tail. She enjoys being nearby and within sight, retreating to a cozy hiding spot when she needs quiet time to herself. She cohabits well with other calm, respectful cats and appreciates their presence, though she may set boundaries if another cat gets too close. Katya would thrive in a peaceful, patient, cat-savvy home that understands shy cats and is willing to let her set the pace—no rushing, just trust built one calm day at a time. For the right person, Katya offers a rare and beautiful bond—one rooted in patience, respect, and the quiet magic of winter companionship. Katya FIV/FeLV negative, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed. Her birthday is estimated to be 5/22/2021. ##2303245##
