Matilda didn’t always have an easy life. Two years ago she
was a stray, living outside and raising kittens until a nice person came
along and got them inside to safety. Matilda’s shy but sweet kittens Duchess
and O’Malley went to our Adoption Center and easily found a home together. Matilda
was too shy and scared and needed more time.
Matilda started out as one of the more combative cats we’ve
had to socialize. That’s why we first saw her potential. A cat that had never been around people wouldn't hold her ground like Matilda did. As much as she tried to act vicious, we
could see through the facade. She just needed time to learn to trust people again.
She was protective and afraid.
Once Matilda was inside and didn’t have to worry about
protecting babies, marauding raccoons, freezing temperatures, or unexpected
snowstorms, she could start the process of relaxing. Matilda loves other cats,
so it helped to socialize her with other cats and kittens. She could watch them
trust us and then learn to trust us herself. Matilda has had many good friends
come and go since she joined us.
Today Matilda is a lap cat and total sweetheart. She can’t
get enough love. Matilda also loves to play and has a great sense of humor. She
is welcoming to all cats but especially loves her current pals Buddy and
Maggie. Matilda is ready to find her forever home, and it would be great if she
could find it with one or two of her buddies.
