About Anna

Anna is patient and rewards those who are too. She might start out poised and unsure, but with steady, gentle care, Anna’s affection surfaces in the form of a rich, rolling purr. She’s coming out of her shell more each day in her foster home—lounging on desks, birdwatching from windows, or curling up behind a computer. Once she feels safe, her playful side peeks through. Give her slow chin or butt scratches (or a Churu treat), and you’ll win her over. Startle her and Anna may show her nerves, but patience pays off. Loud noises and sudden movements aren’t her thing. Her perfect match is someone calm, understanding, and familiar with shy cats, able to let Anna acclimate at her pace. She’s fine with other cats, and even tolerant of mellow dogs, but homes without young kids or boisterous pets will help her confidence grow fastest. Earn her trust, and you’ll see a gentle, loving companion who’s deeply rewarding to know. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
