Cheese is a small, cautious tabby who spent over a year outside on her own, surviving near the dumpsters of an apartment complex in Columbus, OH. Winters were harsh, and she weathered them tucked under pine trees or curled in a makeshift nest in the snow. When rescued, Cheese was terrified of people, skittish from her long stretch on the streets. Time in foster care has made a difference—she studies people, follows them from a safe distance, and is clearly interested, though she’s not comfortable with petting yet. She finds comfort in the company of other cats and will quietly observe her foster family’s routines. Cheese needs a home with patience and understanding, someone willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe and loved. She gets along well with other cats, making her a good candidate for a multi-cat household. Libras like Cheese are said to seek balance and harmony, traits she’s still working towards.
