Licorice is as lovely as her name suggests-a sleek, beautiful black cat with a soft, sweet nature. She's still getting used to her surroundings at NHA and prefers to spend time tucked into cozy hiding spots where she feels safe and secure. Licorice is in the early stages of building confidence, and while she may be unsure at first, she has already begun to show glimpses of her gentle personality. With a patient and understanding approach, she will sometimes accept pets and is slowly learning that affection can be a wonderful thing. She's looking for a calm, compassionate home where she can continue to grow at her own pace. An adopter who respects her space and celebrates small milestones will help her truly blossom. With time, trust, and love, Licorice has all the potential to become a deeply devoted companion.
