Daisy is a 6-year-old FIV+ cat who has had a tough stretch at the shelter. The constant noise and bustle, plus the closeness of other cats, have really worn her down, leaving her withdrawn and quiet—behavior that speaks more to her stress than the cat she is deep down. Before landing at the shelter, Daisy survived on a porch as a stray. Once inside, in a calm environment, she let her true self show: gentle, sweet, and happiest with a quiet spot to herself. She’s not one to demand attention, and she struggled when forced to cohabit with an overly energetic kitten, so isolation became her comfort zone. Daisy needs someone with patience—someone who isn’t looking for instant affection but is willing to offer her the time and calm she needs to rebuild trust. She’ll likely need a gradual introduction to her new home, preferring a quiet, predictable household as a solo cat or among equally mellow companions. FIV, her special need, affects only cats, not humans, and with regular care, FIV+ cats like Daisy can live normal, healthy lives. She doesn’t want perfection, just a calm corner and a chance to be understood. Think you can give her that? Click apply to start the adoption process.
