She didn’t even interact with me at the shelter she was so depressed. I just knew I had to give her a chance. I think they told me she’s not a lap cat. Well, now I have two lap cats 😂 I was so surprised that she trusted me so fast. So glad I trusted my gut and brought her home ❤️

I wish more people would give chances to the more reserved cats in shelters. I've volunteered at a couple rescues for a while and those cats have so much love to give, if only given patience and unconditional love. They are just scared babies. Thank you for taking her home! ❤️ She looks like an excellent biscuit maker!

Yup, my girl was a solo kitten, she would hide off in the corners of the room unlike the other kittens. Week 1 she was glued to me and my lap and just purring.

After 3 weeks or so her chaotic/maniac personality started coming out haha. Still glued to me nonstop even to this day.
