Chiquita arrived on a transport from Florida, and she needed time to decompress and become her loving self. Acclimating to the sounds of a shelter can be challenging for animals that were used to a loving home, rooms to roam around in and the constancy of their day. Chiquita has just begun to blossom with us. She is a loving sweet and affectionate cat who was starved for love and attention. In her foster home she was very loved and would follow her family around as she liked to be included in the daily activities. If you have a kind and patient heart you will be rewarded with a gem of a cat! If you would like to visit her at the shelter, come ready to sit on the floor to connect with her. Please watch her video Cats can live up to 20 years, you need to consider this when adopting and choosing the age of the cat you wish to adopt to give them a lifelong, stable home as you are making a commitment for the lifetime of the animal.
