I am looking for a patient, experienced cat lover to welcome Freya into their home. She would do best in a quiet home with no children and no other pets. Freya is 6 years old (DOB 12/30/19), spayed female. She was adopted March 2020 at 8 weeks old. She is a "Covid Kitty," adopted the week before Lockdown started so she didn't have much socialization. Freya has anxious tendencies and can take a while to warm up to people. Once she understands that she can trust you, she will be extremely affectionate, playful, and snuggly. She likes to be held and cuddled, but it needs to be on her own terms. We call her a princess as she can be a bit sassy. She prefers to have the choice to climb on you while you're relaxing rather than be picked up without warning. She has been known to gently bite or swat at guests who pick her up out of nowhere. Freya is great in the car and I have taken her on several road trips. She might even jump into your car in the driveway just to play in it! However she does get very stressed at the vet's office and can be aggressive so she needs anti-anxiety medication administered before vet trips. She has sometimes needed sedation at the vet's office so new owners should be aware that this can be a small added expense. I am also starting her on Fluoxetine, a daily anti-anxiety medicine to help manage the stress of the rehoming process. If she does well on it, her new family might choose to keep her on it long-term. Other than anxiety, Freya has no health issues. She is an indoor-outdoor cat and needs to be able to go outside when the weather is nice but sleep safely inside at night. I love Freya very much and hope to find a new family who would stay in touch to update me on her once in a while.
