About Rowan
Rowan draws your eye immediately with her striking, vivid coloring and a wild beauty that hints at her cautious, skittish nature. She's intensely wary of people, especially when hands reach for her, and her first instinct is always to flee. If cornered, the worst Rowan will do is swipe at you in her scramble to escape—never out of malice, just panic. Young children and their unpredictable movements would scare her, so Rowan needs an adult household that understands her need for space and quiet. She’s high-strung and easily startled, but her fear doesn’t spill over into aggression; she simply wants to retreat and observe at her own pace. Rowan needs time—lots of it—to find her footing and to trust. With patient, consistent care and gentle play, she should start to open up. She depends on her brother Ridley for comfort, and it’s essential they stay together. Rowan’s sensitive temperament requires an adopter with patience and a soft approach who will let her decide when to accept affection. Click apply to start the adoption process.
