What my friends at ACC say about me:I have been known to shower my favorite people in love!Rza has made huge improvements since her last assessment, so much so that she seems to be a different cat! She was asleep, but woke when spoken to, came forward immediately, curious and pawed gently through the door, and then when the door was opened she remained at the front with a tall tail, allowed and enjoyed all petting, leaning in for cheek rubs, arching her back, with her tail swishing slightly. See her video! She is however very carrier averse and carriers cause her significant stress.Rza has been known to love attention (see video) but can become very reactive especially to carriers and as a result can become very fearful or stressed. She will need time to warm up to her new home, see notes above and in "potential challenges." We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.A volunteer writes: Rza is said to shine when she can make a connection with a person she loves. Some of us think of friendship as a journey and others are more results focused. Rza who is probably closer to the results end of the spectrum, as all this journey stuff in the middle doesn't seem to suit her as well. Rza is not a fan of strangers, which adds an additional layer of challenge to shelter life. Her previous family also noted that Rza doesn't really enjoy being around many people (I totally get that) and I kind of want to sigh on her behalf. Firstly because she doesn't seem cut out for Care Center life and secondly because how is she supposed to put her best self out there and, perhaps more importantly, how can we go from stranger to connection? Well, with a whole lot of patience, love, and time. I think Rza has so much to offer and only needs someone to take a chance on her. Primary Color: Black Weight: 7.7 Age: 5yrs 1mths 2wks
