My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Connie and Kurt are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.



- Shy girl who likes pets and attention once she is comfortable with you



- Has come a long way since arriving in our care, and will now greet us when we walk in the room



- Loud noises and commotion are too much for her, so she's looking for a calm, quiet home with people who will give her plenty of time to settle in; a more mature home may be most comfortable for her, as well



- Stressed around dogs (happiest with no canines)



- Please plan on starting her and her buddy in one room of your home and giving her quite a bit of time (possibly weeks) to become comfortable with that area and with you before allowing her access to larger areas of the home; this process will help set her up for success by not overwhelming her



This cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen good progress here at the ARL, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!
