Catarina, often called Cat, arrived extremely shy and kept to herself, hiding away from everyone at first. Once her ear infection and ear mites were treated, she started to come out of her shell and became more social. If you want her attention, you'll need to go to her, but she's open to gentle pets now. She carries that tough "do not touch me" expression, though it quickly fades once you start scratching her cheeks—she'll even roll over for belly rubs. Despite her timid nature, there’s a sweet, trusting cat underneath her cautious exterior just waiting for the right home and patient person. Catarina now gets along well with other cats. Give her a little time and space, and she’ll show you the softer side she’s been hiding. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
