Snowshoe kittens & cats in Santa Cruz, California

Lola is a sweet, shy girl who’s slowly discovering the joys of being part of a loving family. While she’s still learning to fully trust humans, she’s made great strides and is blossoming into a wonderful companion. Lola is a quiet and observant kitten who prefers to keep a little distance as she builds her confidence. She hangs out with the family at arm’s length, watching and learning, but she’s beginning to take small, brave steps toward closeness. When food is being prepared, Lola comes right over, softly meowing to let you know she’s excited. She’ll even lovingly wrap her tail around your leg as a sweet gesture of connection. Once you’ve earned her trust, Lola allows gentle cuddles, even if they’re not long-lasting yet. She has a soft, delicate presence and a voice to match, quietly communicating her needs and emotions. Lola’s perfect home would include: Patience and understanding from her adopters as she continues to grow in confidence. A quiet environment where she can take her time adjusting at her own pace. A family willing to celebrate her small victories and put in the effort to build a trusting bond. Gentle routines, like preparing her meals, which she looks forward to and uses to connect with her people. Why Lola is Special: Lola’s journey to trust makes every little breakthrough with her feel like a big reward. She’s soft-spoken but speaks volumes with her affectionate tail wraps and gentle presence. Though her cuddles may be short-lived for now, with time, patience, and love, Lola is sure to blossom into the sweet and loving companion she’s destined to be. If you’re looking for a gentle, shy kitten who will grow alongside you, Lola could be the perfect match.
