Chardonney is a young tortoiseshell who has learned caution around people, preferring the comforting company of other cats in her foster home. She’ll sometimes settle close to a human if her feline friends are nearby, but she never lets her guard down all the way. You might get to gently pet her once or twice, but she stays watchful and tense during any interaction. Chardonney would do best in a quiet home with another mellow and affectionate cat—she craves feline companionship but isn’t ready for the bustle of children or the unpredictability of dogs. She’ll need an adopter who’s willing to give her all the time she needs, even if she never becomes more outwardly affectionate than she is now. For the right person, simply sharing space with her and seeing her relax around other cats is its own quiet reward. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
