Sailor Cat Gertrude is a charming young feline originally from a boat that housed many other cats. Since arriving at the shelter, she has been on the shy side and seems unfamiliar with handling. It’s best to allow Gertrude to approach you at her own pace, avoiding forced interactions. With patience and time, she may blossom into a cuddly companion, but some cats prefer to keep a little distance and simply observe. If you have another cat at home, she might adapt well, or consider adopting her with a buddy from her past life. This could be the start of something paw-some.
