About Bug

Meet Bug, a unique calico with a big personality and strong opinions about her space. At about 1.5 years old, Bug found her way to New Hope after her previous owner, overwhelmed with caring for too many cats, passed away. Since arriving in foster care, Bug has made progress learning to trust people. She may start off shy and reserved, but once you win her over, she wants to be part of your life. Bug eagerly follows her foster around the house, keeping a close watch on everything. She's particularly curious and has a knack for finding cozy spots, like empty plant pots. Bug is playful, often entertaining herself, engaging in games with her human, and even playing fetch. Affection comes on Bug’s terms. While she dislikes being picked up or approached suddenly, she thrives on attention when her foster is settled on the couch or in bed, demanding pets and soaking up affection. However, she often retreats just beyond reach the moment you stand up. Bug isn’t looking for a typical cuddle buddy; instead, she seeks someone who enjoys the challenge of earning a quirky cat’s trust. To set her up for success, she’d do best in a quieter home with adults or older, cat-savvy children who can respect her boundaries. Her litter box habits are excellent, and she's a lot of fun to have around. If you're ready to learn the special language of Bug and appreciate her delightful quirks, this could be your chance.
