Shy, Cautious, Quiet
We don’t know why Elizabeta is so shy, but she deserves a chance at a loving home as much as any other kitty does! She just needs time to adjust to new surroundings and new people, so she needs her human to be patient with her and give her space to become comfortable.
Once she knows you, she’ll accept an occasional little pet. She does not like being picked up. She does enjoy being brushed, and she also likes treats.
Here at the shelter, Elizabeta has made friends with another shy kitty, Erin Element (https://bit.ly/2OMnQRb). They hang out in the window together snuggling and grooming. Since they are already buddies, it would be great if they were adopted together!
In her previous home, Elizabeta lived with an older child who was gentle and patient, so she was fine with him. She also tolerated the resident calm dog.
Would you like to give Elizabeta the chance for a loving home that she deserves? If so, contact us to meet her!
