About Reese

Reese is on the lookout for the perfect home where she can truly thrive. While she’s smart and energetic, her past has made her a bit cautious, especially around sudden movements. Her reaction to a hand being lifted can be defensive, signaling that she's had some rough experiences before finding safety with FUR. With the right guidance from someone attuned to cat body language, she has wonderful potential to become a loving companion. Reese needs a patient adopter who understands her need for a gentle environment. Although she can get overstimulated, she has a sweet side that she'll share as she starts to trust. Unfortunately, she’s not suited for a home with children, so an adult-only environment would be ideal. With your help, she can shine bright in her new life. Your new best friend is just one click away.
