About Twitch

Twitch is a young, tortoiseshell Domestic Short Hair who came to the rescue with her friends Willow and Mama Sue. She's what you might call a hoarder cat, which means she's naturally shy and reserved around people. While she may be hard to spot as she gets comfortable in her surroundings, Twitch thrives in the company of other cats and will likely warm up to a patient human over time. Adopting a cat like Twitch requires understanding and patience. She may choose to relax near you or even cuddle at night, but don’t expect her to become overly social quickly. These cats are perfect for quieter homes where they can take their time adjusting. Twitch won’t magically become a typical cat; instead, be prepared for her unique personality to shine through gradually. If you’re looking to make a difference in a gentle creature's life, Twitch could be the right fit for you. Ready to meet this special girl?
