Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Squeak is a sweet girl, she came to our facility as an owner release due to previous owner having to leave out of state for medical treatment and could not take squeak with them. At intake squeak was shy and nervous of course about being here. She handled all propsects of the intake exam with no issues, she ejnoys treats and chin scratches. Per previous owner she has been around kids but she reccommends 10+ so they won't be rough with her and due to her shy demeanor. Squeak has lived with a chihuahua -x- and two kittens and an adult cat. She was tolerant with them but never interacted and preferred to be left alone. Due to her history it seems she will do best as a one person, only animal in the house type of cat. She has only lived indoors , went outside for a brief time but has lived majority indoors only. Since she has a brief history with kids and other animals please do a slow intro to any animals or children in home.
Squeak can be very shy and is not completely comfortable with handling. It is very important that when she finds her forever family, her family understands that she is shy, but with time, she should be able to open up and become comfortable. It will probably take her 6 months or more for adjustment time.
When Squeak gets into her new home, she should start out in a single room (i.e. the bedroom, office) that still gets a lot of foot traffic but isn't as overwhelming as opening her up to the entire house. It is very important to visit with her multiple times a day (first starting by just talking to her and gradually working your way up to petting her and coaxing her out with treats). She will most likely hide at first, and should stay in the single room until she is actively coming out and seeking attention on her own. Once Squeak is adjusted and seems relaxed in the single room, you can slowly introduce her to the rest of the house and the other pets.
