Jake is a 4-year-old tuxedo cat with a strong independent streak. She gravitates toward her own space and takes her time with new people, slowly learning to trust. Right now, Jake allows gentle petting mostly at mealtimes and prefers not to be overwhelmed with attention. She will do best in a quiet, calm environment with someone who understands the needs of sensitive, shy cats and isn’t in a rush for instant affection. Jake will need someone patient, willing to let her move at her own speed, and able to provide the safety and stability she craves. She’s waiting for an adopter who will let her settle in and feel secure, so she can blossom in her own time. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
