  1. Just be patient and give the cat plenty of time and space to get used to his new home. I adopted 2 shelter cats in the last 17 years, and was told to put food, water, litter in a separate room and leave the cat alone for 2 days. In both cases the cat came to seek me out within hours. You just have to follow their lead.

  2. just know that even if you may not match with her personality, there’s probably another cat there who would make the perfect companion!

    Love and give her time to acclimate.The shelter may or may not know what her story is,so she may have some behaviors from her previous life.

  4. Play with her at the shelter to attempt to evaluate her personality. I have worked at the ASPCA in Manhattan, and they evaluate all animals and give them “personality” classifications.

    We have always got ours from car rescue,give them time and space and a little patience and they will be fine,good luck hope all goes well for all of you xx

  6. I got my lady cat from a shelter. You just have to care for them and understand they may have been through trauma. Vet, of course, and shots. Make sure to check for fleas as well. My lady cat was really scared when we brought her home, now she’s extremely loving.

    She is beautiful, give her some space at first and she looked quickly adapt to you. Remember she’s the boss not you. Never met her and she will be the happiest cat in the she is beautiful, give her some space at first and she booked quickly adapt to you. Remember she’s the boss not you. Give her lots of loving and she will return it tenfold! Give her lots of loving and she will return it tenfold

  8. Give her several days to adapt. She may hide under the bed until she knows it is safe…especially if there are other animals inside. I love her little harlequin face! I’d name her Harley or Checkers…

  9. I have adopted all of my cat from the shelter and it is the responsible thing to do. Sounds like you have found a match.
