- Title: Adult F2 Female
- Name: Leigh Riley
- Location: Virginia
- Belle is an adult F2 girl in need of a new home. I have moved to a new house, and have limited space. She was born in Sept. 2010, so is about 5 yrs old, spayed, and up to date on her shots. She is about 10-11 lbs. Belle is a gorgeous silver cat (white with black markings). She is not slight in build, but still has a long-legged elegant figure. Belle is very skittish, and easily upset. She will very rarely allow herself to be petted, BUT she may bond to the right owner if they are VERY patient and give it lots of time. She is not a difficult cat (unless you have to get her in a carrier or try to hold her), but fair warning that she will be very hissy for the first couple weeks in a new home and toward new owners.
She is great with the litter box, and has no health issues. She primarily eats canned cat food, with a little kibble for snacks. Ideally she would do best in a home without other cats or dogs, however she will get along with 1-2 other gentle-natured cats after a 2 week period alone to acclimate, and then a very gradual introduction. You must have a large enough home for this active cat to have a space of her own to minimize stress; an apartment is not suitable.
I am looking for an adult only home, with no children, because the personality of this girl is very skittish, and it would be easier for her to adapt to a quiet household. A new owner will need to understand and consider Belle’s special needs carefully before adopting; it is very traumatic for sensitive cats like Belle to be rehomed, and I want to make sure she is placed otni a PERMANENT loving home that will not give up on her or traumatize her further. There is no adoption fee.
If you think you have the right home environment for Belle, please tell me about yourself, where you live, and the type of home/environment you would provide.
