Etta lost her home due to her former owner's allergies. She gets along with other cats but remains nervous, often hanging back and observing from a distance. Etta has started coming out of hiding at the shelter, yet she typically runs from people and prefers her own space. She does best when people give her time and allow her to approach on her terms. The chaos of the shelter is tough on her, and she seems to crave a quiet, calm environment. Her previous owner described her as naturally skittish—someone who takes time to trust, but who will eventually settle close and even curl up on a lap once she feels secure. Etta would thrive in a peaceful household, ideally as the only pet, where routines are predictable and older children understand she’s more likely to snuggle than play. She’s a classic Cancer—sensitive to her surroundings and happiest when she feels safe. If you’re patient and willing to build trust slowly, Etta could become a loyal companion. Ready to fall in love?
