Hi, I'm Pearl and I'm about a year old! I came to ReJoyceful pregnant many months ago - my mommy duties are done now and I'm moving on to become the best family cat I can be! If I didn't say I have some challenges, I'd be lying, but I'm well worth the effort to earn my trust! You see, I wasn't always a bright and outgoing girl. When I got to the shelter, I was terrified and completely shut down. The sign on my cage read "look, but don't touch". I hid under my blankies all day. If you didn't know I was in my cage, you would have thought it was empty. I was an expert at disappearing myself. And then one day I started showing interest in playing with fingers through the bars, and watching the birds outside my window. I started making eye contact with shelter staff, and I started letting down all my barriers. Soon they started to allow me more space, an entire office to run! And that is where I blossomed into the beautiful, majestic, silly little creature I have become! I love to play with toys, laser lights, anything you want to leave on the floor for me! I will toss them in the air and create my own little game of mousey fetch. I love to explore my surroundings, including watching the birds out the windows and greeting people walking through my space. I'm still mostly a look but don't touch kind of girl, but I will be a beautiful little living ornament in your home. I may never be a lap cat, but I promise to keep you endlessly entertained. I'm getting better and better everyday with trusting my people... The possibilities are endless here! What I need: - A home with adults and older children only - I need a quieter home with people who will respect my space. - A home with another cat, especially a confident one who may even want to play with me! - I may be ok with a calm dog or two. - A family who will be patient with me and follow guidance from the rescue on decompression.
