Mama Beth is a beautiful girl (born 4/1/20) who came to us from a multiple cat situation where she didn't get a lot of attention, so she's shy and reserved.
For a very long time, she wouldn’t allow us to approach her or touch her, and was tentative about receiving our attentions. But recently (it took her over a year!) she has blossomed and has decided that human beings are alright!!! (If you visit our Adoption Center to see her, you will know just what we mean.) She does have a couple of safe zones in the Center, where if she retreats there, she still considers herself “hands off,” but most of the time she seeks out pets from visitors whenever she can.
Still, we feel she needs someone with prior cat experience who will understand a cat from a background like hers and can devote time helping her to adjust to a new environment and give her a safe place to live. She does great with other cats, but she'd be OK as an only cat as long as she's not left alone for long periods of time. A home with no dogs or small children is recommended. We think she would be fine in a residence with older children.
