Annalise is a charming young cat, estimated to be between 1.5 and 2 years old. After a rocky start, she is slowly learning that people can be kind and that she is safe now. Shy in new settings, Annalise will thrive with a patient adopter who can give her the time she needs to build trust. Once she warms up, her sweet nature shines through, and she enjoys gentle head scratches. Playful at heart, she loves it when the toys come out and makes her preferences known, especially at mealtime! While she isn't fond of being held, she appreciates affection on her own terms. Annalise has been around children with no issues. However, she's not comfortable around dogs and would do best in a home where she can reign as the only pet or with a calm feline friend after a slow introduction. She seeks a forever family that understands her journey and is willing to let her blossom at her own pace. If you're ready for a companion that will reward your patience with love, Annalise might be the one for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
