**Meet Tina — A Sweet, Shy Girl Hoping for a Gentle Forever Home** Tina is a beautiful young tabby, just over a year old, with a soft spirit and a heart that’s trying its best to be brave. Shelter life has been overwhelming for her, and she remains a bit shy — but even through that shyness, her sweetness shines. She accepts gentle pets and leans into kindness with quiet gratitude. There’s a spark of curiosity in her, too — the kind that tells you she *wants* to trust, *wants* to explore, and *wants* to feel safe. She’s a lovely tabby girl with so much potential to blossom in the right home. What makes Tina special is the fact that she has a cute little bob tail - she didn't want to show it off in the pictures, so you will have to come and meet her to see it! Tina isn’t asking for much — just a calm, patient family who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to come out of her shell. With love, stability, and a peaceful environment, she will shine in ways only a once‑shy cat can. If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in the life of a gentle soul who deserves her chance, Tina is waiting for you. Visit during our public adoption hours Tuesdays and Thursdays 5-7 pm, Saturdays 1-5 pm. Or request a private appointment with an adoption counselor to meet them.
