Hello, furiends! Please say hello to the beautiful Birdie! She is one year and 5 months young, a lovely tuxedo kitty! As you may have guessed from her name, Birdie has a favorite hobby - birdwatching from her sunny window perch at the shelter! Birdie is shy around new humans and will need her space and some time until she feels comfy in her new surroundings. She is playful, sweet, and will lounge her days away in the sun. Loves her food, and that will be one to gain her trust! She is not fond of being picked up but will tolerate it for short periods.
Another cat in your family? Excellent! That is just what this girl needs - another friendly cat in the home is recommended for Birdie to continue working on her socialization. We are unsure how she would be in a home with dogs or other animals. She can be easily startled, and so for that reason, we suggest a family with older children. A patient and understanding human, a whole lotta love, some catnip toys, and, of course...a sunny spot for birdwatching!
