About Bonita

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Bonita is a 6-year-old calico Domestic Short Hair who found herself in need of a new beginning after her previous owner moved away. Although she was once described as “feral,” Bonita quickly showed that she isn’t wild — just frightened and unsure in new situations. When she first arrived, Bonita expressed her nerves in true calico style with some dramatic growls, but never showed aggression or tried to bite. Instead, she accepted gentle affection from staff right from the start. Bonita is FIV positive but otherwise healthy, and she’s gradually embracing her “indoor diva” status in a loving foster home. She’s discovering that calmness and routine are her best friends, often retreating to her favorite hiding spot when things get too overwhelming. Adorably nicknamed “the closet gremlin,” she’s cautious, sensitive, and truly shines when given patience and a peaceful environment. Bonita needs a quiet, cat-savvy home where her boundaries are respected and she’s allowed to adapt at her own pace. She may hide and hiss a little at first, but it’s only her way of asking for space — never with aggression, just with honesty. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
