About Uma

Uma arrived at the shelter on October 10th, 2026, after being brought in by a community member. This sweet girl is still learning to navigate her new surroundings, which makes her a bit shy when meeting new people. She requires a patient and gentle approach; building her confidence will take time and positive interactions. Initially, Uma will thrive in a small, quiet room where she can explore at her own pace. With love and understanding, you’ll form a unique bond as she opens up. If you think you can offer Uma the loving home she needs, bring a secure carrier and adopt her today. She has already been vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed, so she’s all set for her new adventure!
