My name is Barouche!

Hi, I'm Barouche, a female, short-haired Tortoiseshell with an estimated DOB of 4/21/2016. I am a quiet mama who has had many litters of kittens, some of whom are grown and with me still. I arrived at Wild Blue from a house full of cats where I didn't get much human contact, but I have learned to trust humans more and more each day. I am not as affected by their noise and fast movements as I was before, but when my environment gets too active, I feel more secure in a cubby. Once my environment is calm, I am back out to enjoy gentle pets and closeness. I have learned to appreciate their gentle touch, as I understand this is a special time with my human, and a tasty treat during our visit is the perfect encouragement to help me relax. I love wet food. I am used to having other kitties lay on me as we comfort each other, but as a mature lady I am showing more insistence on a little space around me and some independence. Some of that reservation could be due to some hip discomfort I'm experiencing, so my vet prescribed a monthly medicine called Solensia to help get me moving around more and it has helped. I also had a dental and my recovery went well. I would prefer a home where I can get a little peace and quiet, mixed in with my individual human time, as I have grown to enjoy the attention. I am looking forward to building a strong bond with my person and the comforts of a home of my own. I will flourish with a loving and patient adult who will help me feel safe and bring forth my sweet personality. Starting me out in a small space and gradually expand my living area will allow me to explore at my own pace.
