Andes is a striking young tortoiseshell cat who’s already overcome a tough start, rescued after fending for herself outdoors. She's been with her foster for over a year now and remains shy around people—that’s just her speed. Andes flourishes around other cats and absolutely needs a home where she has a friendly feline companion. She’s lively and playful with other kitties, but also fiercely independent: Andes knows how to enjoy her space and will seek out affection when she's ready. She’d thrive with an adopter who understands her need for patience while she warms up. If you’re looking for a cat who will blossom with time and feline company, she may be a great fit.
