Sweet girl Gary (aka Bear) came to TCR when she and 18 of her friends were trapped outside of a single residence. Although the kitties had a wonderful caretaker who was feeding and caring for them, the neighbors in the area disliked the cats and were devising cruel ways to get rid of them. Gary has come a long way over the past 3 years in her foster home. Even though she still does not like to be petted or held, she greets her foster mom at the door and will hangout with her a few feet away. Gary gets along great with so many kitty personalities but would probably do best with a more chill cat who likes to play a little. She looks up to her other kitty friends and models after them, so a confident buddy in her forever home would likely help her feel more at ease. She'd be a great "cat for your cat" friend, especially while she is getting used to you! Once she is comfortable, Gary loves to play with the wand toy if the other kitties are not wand hogs. She is really a chill cat otherwise. She loves to lie in her cat bed or cat tree and bird watch. We think she has the potential to be a really darling little companion, but her future adopters will have to put in some work to help her get there. Starting her out in one small room and spending time relaxing with her daily would be key. Gary may be able to live with cat-savvy, older, respectful kiddos, but young children would likely be too much for her. None of the cats from this location have been fond of dogs, so no puppers, please! Gary is estimated to be about 4.5 years old. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. If you have room in your home and heart to help this sweet little kitty blossom, please apply today!
