Description:
Girlie was born outside to a local known stray with many sisters and brothers. When she was taken inside, she was very shy at first. She can still sometimes be unsure but she is making progress every day! She doesn't do well in high energy situations. She loves her solo time with humans and now she's pretty used to being handled. Girlie really enjoys comfy time on the couch! Girlie is accepting of attention and being handled, preferring to embrace interactions as they come rather than actively seeking them out. With a little more time and patience, Girlie will be the perfect companion for any cat lover. Girlie is from a local surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you'd like to donate towards this pet's care, you can donate to our Animal Care Fund. Our Animal Care Fund supports the medical and veterinary needs for all Ruff Start Rescue animals. You'll be able to enter this pet's name on the second page of the donation form. Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
