About Gracie

Meet Gracie! This special 7-year-old girl is looking for a very special adopter. She arrived at the shelter with her sisters after one of her senior owners passed away, which made the transition incredibly difficult for her. In her first couple of months, Gracie was terrified and clearly wanted nothing to do with anyone. But one day, she decided to try again; instead of swatting, she started showing little bits of love. Gracie is still a work in progress and needs a truly cat-savvy adopter who understands that trust takes time. Previous family members noted that she enjoys being petted and held on her own terms but is wary of strangers. Her new adopter should give her plenty of space, allow her to set the pace, and never take her cautious nature personally. Once Gracie feels you're safe, she offers an abundance of love. Having lived with her feline mother and sisters, she was tolerant of them and has also shared her space with dogs, though introductions in her new home should be slow. Gracie needs a calm environment, free from young children and excessive activity, to truly flourish. The perfect match for Gracie might take some time to find, but we're dedicated to showing her that the world can be a safe place. Click apply to start the adoption process.
