Meet Sophia! She is a lovely eleven-year-old shorthaired brown tabby who recently came to us after her family moved and were unable to take her with them. In her previous home, Sophia lived as an outdoor cat because the resident indoor cat was not comfortable with other cats. Big changes like this can be especially hard on a senior kitty, and Sophia is understandably feeling fearful in the shelter environment. Sophia will need a patient, compassionate home that allows her to settle in at her own pace. It’s unknown how long it may take her to fully warm up, but starting her off in a single, cozy space with all her essentials and spending daily, quiet time offering tasty treats will go a long way in building trust. Because of her nervousness, a calm home with older children would likely be the best fit. With time, understanding, and kindness, Sophia has the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion. She is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.
