About Hazel

Meet Hazel, an adorable cat in need of a special foster home. This once-abandoned bottle baby has a big personality and just the right amount of feistiness. She requires a patient caregiver who can provide a calm, dedicated environment for her to thrive again. Currently, Hazel is on daily medication that she takes easily with her food, helping to support her mood. Hazel will need her own room as her safe space, particularly since she tends to hiss at unfamiliar animals. She might be best suited for a quieter home without young children, as she is still figuring out her social skills. This isn't your average shy cat; she will come out for treats and loves to play. However, be aware that when she feels threatened, she may swipe. If you understand that building trust takes time, you could be the perfect match for her. Hazel’s food and supplies will be provided; you just need to give her the love and patience to help her shine. Ready to make a difference in Hazel's life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
