Bella

My story

Bella is a beautiful and gentle kitty with a shy heart that needs time to blossom. This sweet foster girl is looking for a quiet, understanding home where she can feel safe and build trust at her own pace.At first, Bella will likely keep her distance, preferring to observe from a cozy hiding spot. Sudden movements and loud noises might send her scurrying away, but with patience, she’ll start to show little signs of trust—peeking out from her favorite hiding place, curiously watching from a distance, or even creeping closer when she thinks you’re not looking.Earning Bella’s love is a slow but deeply rewarding journey. With time, gentle voices, and soft encouragement, she will allow light pets—and one day, she might surprise you with a deep, contented purr. She may never be a lap cat, but for the right person, her quiet companionship and sweet nature will be the most special gift.Bella needs a calm, patient adopter who will let her take things at her own pace. In return, she will offer a quiet, loving presence and the joy of watching a shy kitty learn to trust. If you have a heart for helping shy cats find their confidence, Bella may be the perfect match for you!She did wonderfully with other cats and dogs in the foster home.
