Rita is a sweet mama kitty who is learning that she can have a life of her own, too. She’s a little hesitant, so new people and unfamiliar situations can make her nervous. At the same time, Rita seems genuinely interested in people, which gives us hope that she’ll continue to grow more comfortable with gentle, positive interactions. She’ll need an adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her set the pace. Patience, respect, and a calm environment will be especially important as Rita settles into her new home. She may not be the kind of cat who immediately runs up for attention, but there’s a curious and sweet personality underneath her cautious exterior. If you’re someone who appreciates the reward of earning a cat’s trust and can give Rita the time she needs, she could become a wonderful companion. For more information, contact orlyahar@gmail.com.
