Carmen is a four-year-old brown tabby who arrived from animal control. She’s nervous around people, but she finds comfort in the company of other cats. A quiet home suits her best, and she thrives when given plenty of time and patience. Carmen entertains herself with toys and loves treat time—especially the crunchy kind. She likes to settle into cozy beds where she can observe everything happening in the room from a safe distance. She’s making steady progress every day and clearly wants to trust, though she’ll need someone willing to go at her pace. An adopter with experience with shy or under-socialized cats is ideal, but someone patient and willing to learn will make a difference, too. Carmen would do best in a home with another friendly cat, or at least one already comfortable with sharing space. With a birthday on May 6, she’s a Taurus, which explains her steady persistence. Give her the space she needs and watch her blossom. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
