About Giannis

Giannis went mostly unnoticed during her first couple of years, so she missed early chances to build trust and comfort with people. After moving into foster care, she really opened up, especially with her foster mom. Now, Giannis actively seeks affection, stretching out and rolling over with a big purr when she gets her favorite head and belly rubs. She’s vocal at mealtimes and when she wants company. Toys that dangle or flutter—especially strings and feathers—are her thing. Giannis is still shy around strangers and will need patience from anyone new in her circle; she gains trust gradually. Loud noises or quick movements will probably send her for cover, so a quiet, predictable home is best. She should not be placed with young children, but does get along with other cats, though she isn’t too fussed if they’re there or not. Giannis has not lived with dogs, so her thoughts on them are a mystery. Born April 9, she’s an Aries—no surprise she’s learning to be bold. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
