Bell - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Middletown, Rhode Island

Meet Bell!

A quiet and gentle girl who is looking for a patient, experienced cat adopter who understands that the best relationships take time to build. Bell is a very calm and quiet cat, but she is currently quite shut down in the shelter and needs a slow, thoughtful approach to help her feel safe and comfortable.

Bell's favorite way to connect with her people is through brushing. Gentle brushing can help her relax and begin building trust, and once she feels secure, she may become a wonderfully devoted companion. Her adopters will need to let her set the pace and give her plenty of time to discover that she is safe.

Bell would thrive in an adult-only, low-traffic household where she can enjoy a predictable routine. She is fearful of children and is likely to hide from them, so a peaceful home without kids is important. Bell also does not enjoy being picked up so it is important to be thoughtful if moving her. Her future family should be comfortable respecting her boundaries and using care when handling her.

Bell has a history of anxiety, so a gradual transition will be especially important. She should start out in a single, quiet room where she can become acclimated, establish a routine, and feel secure before being given access to more of the home.

Bell may take some time to come out of her shell, but for the right adopter, earning her trust could be incredibly rewarding. If you're an experienced cat person looking for a quiet companion and are willing to let Bell move at her own pace, she may just become your very special shadow.
