Pesto - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Crystal Lake, Illinois

Hi! I'm Pesto! I am a gorgeous and fluffy girl, with the cutest white mittens. I am sweet, but very timid in the shelter. I am having a hard time re-adjusting to being here. You see, this isn't my first time in the shelter. It's not even my second time. It's my fourth. I originally came to the shelter years ago, as a transfer from Animal Control. This is where I met my best buddy, my rock, my Oscar.

We were adopted, then returned a few days later. (Our new Mom didn't know she was allergic.) We were adopted again, then returned a year later due to family losing their home. Then we were adopted yet again, and were happy in our home. Then fast forward a few years, and our Mom had an accident and needed to go into rehab. Her family was in such a rush to get rid of us, so back to the shelter we went.

I am bonded with Oscar, and we do need to go home together. He is my safe space. I am having a hard time opening up. I am having a hard time trusting. It's hard when you have a good and happy life, then have it ripped away from you. The shelter will always love us and take care of us. But it's just not fair. I know none of this is my fault, but I still need someone to give me time and patience. Someone to show me that it's going to be OK again.
