Ida is one of two reserved but gentle tortoiseshell sisters who lost their home after their owner's passing. Compared to her sister Matilda, Ida is a bit larger and sports more tan coloring along her chin. She doesn’t care for the company of other animals and would feel safest in a quiet setting as the only pet. A household with adults or older children would work well for her. Ida enjoys nearby companionship—she seeks out gentle attention and wants to stay close, but she prefers not to be picked up or sit in your lap. Watching her and Matilda play with each other or bat at toys is a reminder that even shy cats can be lively in the right home. With patience and a lot of TLC, Ida will become a devoted companion and thrive in a calm environment. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
