About Eliza

Eliza spent her early days outside, caught in a live trap before landing at the shelter. She’s a black and white tuxedo with short, velvety fur, and her gentle side is showing more each day. Once feral, Eliza now enjoys soft ear rubs and belly scratches from patient hands. Still, she’s shy—cautious around new people and situations—but she’s slowly trusting the world, thanks to the daily care from shelter staff. She’ll need a home with someone who understands that skittish cats become loyal friends with steady love and space to blossom. Eliza is not yet house trained, so patience during her adjustment will be important. When you help her settle in, you’ll get to see the transformation unfold firsthand. What are you waiting for?
