About Paisley

Paisley is a striking bullseye tabby, showcasing the classic circle on her side. Rescued after being humanely trapped in a barn, she initially arrived at the shelter frightened and withdrawn. It's possible that she was once a barn cat who needed to find a new home where she could feel safe. While she has made great strides in overcoming her fear, she remains shy, especially around newcomers. A quiet, patient household would suit her best, ideally with at least one other cat for companionship. Although she’s sweet and prefers a calm environment, she does enjoy her favorite treats, like Party Mix. Her future family will need to allow her the time to adjust at her own pace, ensuring she feels comfortable and secure in her new surroundings.
