About Hawaii

Hawaii is a striking long-haired black cat with a reserved nature and gentle spirit. After fending for herself outdoors and raising her kittens, she’s looking for a home where she can continue to build trust at her own pace. Hawaii is shy around people, still uneasy in new situations, and not ready to be a lap cat, but she makes small steps forward every day. Treats like Churu and Temptations really help her warm up and start coming out of her shell. She feels safest with other cats and would thrive best in a household with a friendly feline companion who can show her the ropes. Hawaii needs a patient, understanding adopter willing to let her grow at her own speed and offer her a calm, quiet home. Seeing her develop trust is a slow, rewarding process, and she’s truly deserving of a family willing to give her that opportunity. She would not be comfortable in a home with children.
