My name is Tabitha! 15 months old | Spayed Female | Domestic Shorthair My story: Good things take a little time - and I promise I'm worth the wait. I've had some difficult experiences in my short life, so when I meet someone new, I like to take things slow. Give me a few weeks to settle in and learn that I can trust you, and you'll have a loving, loyal companion for life. I'm not a cat who bonds on day one - I'm a cat who bonds for good. Once I feel safe, I'm a big kitten at heart. I love watching birds from a sunny window, exploring every corner of my new home, and I'll rub right up against you when I want some love. I'm gentle and quiet, so I'm easy to have around - I just need a patient person who won't give up on me before I've had the chance to come out of my shell. If you're looking for a cat who will reward your patience with a lifetime of affection, I might just be your perfect match. My personality: Affectionate, Gentle, Quiet, Loyal, Needs a patient adopter What I need in a home: - An adopter willing to invest a few weeks helping me settle in and build trust - A calm, quiet environment while I decompress - Patience - I show my best self once I feel secure
