About Land O`Lakes

Meet Land O’Lakes, affectionately known as Lake! Lake is a bit reserved compared to her siblings, but don't mistake her quiet demeanor for an absence of personality. She’s figuring out that people aren’t so scary, and will need a family prepared to offer her the time and space to come out of her shell at her own pace. Among her siblings, Lake has shown the most hesitation towards people. Just an approaching figure or direct eye contact can send her retreating to a safe spot. The key to winning her over? Get down to her level, sit on the floor, avert your gaze, and offer a tasty treat. With a little patience, she might surprise you by inching closer! Lake loves playtime, especially with wand toys. She has her preferences, though. Noisy toys tend to send her running, while a crinkle toy on a wand is her absolute favorite. If she initially observes from a distance, don’t be discouraged; as she grows more comfortable, she’ll join in the fun. When with her siblings, she transforms into a playful little creature, eagerly chasing them around and showcasing her adorable crab walk while stalking her next playmate. She’s got a playful side just waiting to shine! As a hide-and-seek enthusiast, Lake often seeks out the coziest corners when feeling overwhelmed. Her adopter will need to kitten-proof her new home, ensuring she can't access dangerous hiding spots behind furniture or appliances. Providing her with safe, cozy areas where she can decompress is essential. While Lake hasn’t yet realized how wonderful people can be, she is still young and making progress in foster care. She will thrive with a patient adopter who recognizes that building trust takes time. Lake may not rush to greet you on day one, but with love and consistency, she has the potential to become a delightful companion. Sometimes the most rewarding friendships take a little time to nurture. Start your journey together! Apply now.
