India is a 6-year-old, altered female Domestic Short Hair cat located in Cumberland, ME. She is currently vaccinated and is a medium-sized cat.

About India

Meet India, a sweet adult female cat who has made significant strides in her socialization at the shelter. Initially shy and under-socialized, she has become more trusting and now enjoys being picked up and loved. However, India prefers to keep to herself and has shown some bullying behavior toward other cats. She tends to get along better with confident cats, but her interactions can be unpredictable. India is currently on transdermal medication to help manage her insecurities and aggression, and we're pleased to report an improvement in her behavior. Ideally, she would thrive as the only feline in a household without young children. A patient adopter will be essential to help her comfortably adjust to a new home. If you feel you can offer India the love and stability she needs, consider submitting an adoption application. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
