Meet Bobinsky - named after the unforgettable character from the movie Coraline and just as unique in her own way! This sweet mama cat was found outside caring for her kittens, and thanks to the kindness of her finders, she was able to safely raise her babies until they were ready to find homes of their own. Now it's finally Bobinsky's turn to be spoiled. Bobinsky can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but underneath that shy exterior is a very loving cat who enjoys gentle pets. Once she starts to relax, she'll happily make biscuits on soft blankets while soaking up attention. Because change can be overwhelming for her, Bobinsky would do best with slow introductions to any other pets in the home. With a little patience and understanding, this former stray mama is ready to leave outdoor life behind and enjoy the comfort of a loving family. Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?
