Hi there! I'm Jodi, a 5-year-old girl who's still learning that the world can be a safe and gentle place. The shelter has been a little overwhelming for me, and it's taken time to decompress. I tend to tuck myself away in the cat room where things feel quieter and more predictable. I'm not mean - not even a little bit - I'm just a sensitive soul trying to find my footing. I may give a little growl sometimes, but that's just me finding my confidence and working through big feelings in a new environment. Even during transitions and stressful moments, I've never shown aggression. I truly am such a sweet girl underneath it all. Once I feel safe, I just want love and reassurance from my people. I'm cat friendly and would likely do best with another calm, older cat who can help me feel secure. I seem to be kid friendly as well, especially with gentle, understanding children. I'm not sure how I feel about dogs just yet, but once I'm more comfortable, that's something that could be explored. What I really need is a quiet home with patient, loving people who will let me blossom at my own pace. I promise there's a soft, tender heart here just waiting to shine. I'm spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped - ready for a fresh start in a place where I can truly thrive.
