Meet Shelly, born around 01/27/2022, a black beauty who’s mastered the art of relaxation. Shelly is the definition of calm, often found lounging in the window or draped across her favorite cat tree, soaking up the sun. Sweet, affectionate, and friendly, Shelly can be a little anxious around new cats. While she’s currently comfortable in a room with other cats, she may need some time to adjust when new ones are introduced.
Shelly does have a quirky side, though—she’s a bit of a flight risk! Her future home may need to make a few adaptations, like using baby gates to ensure she stays safe and secure. Shelly would thrive in a calm, quiet environment with respectful cats, where she can warm up at her own pace and enjoy her peaceful lifestyle.
Shelly is best suited for a home with other respectful cats, and may need time to adjust. Following the 3-3-3 rule (3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months) can help guide her transition, allowing her to settle in at her own pace. Be patient, and Shelly will reveal her gentle, laid-back nature to you and the other animals in the home.
The 3-3-3 rule (3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months) is a helpful guideline for cat adoption, suggesting it takes about 3 days for a cat to decompress, 3 weeks to adjust to their new environment, and up to 3 months to feel fully settled in. Be patient, and Shelly will show you and the animals of the home the beauty of her gentle, laid-back nature.
