Matilda showed up at a couples house and tried like heck to get in their house. They already had several other cats and couldn't make her part of their family. They took her to the vet and got her all her medical care done. They brought her to the rescue hoping she will find a forever family. She started out very shy until one of the regular visitors at the rescue started spending time with her. After that Matilda was all in on the petting and brushing thing. Whenever her friend shows up she's right there to hop on her lap and bask in the spoiling.
