Gertrude (Bashful Buddy) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Gertrude is a beautiful tabby kitten with a playful spirit and a heart that's just waiting to blossom. She can be a little bashful at first and will need a patient family willing to earn her trust, but she's already beginning to show more curiosity about the people around her. If you catch her enjoying a tasty meal of wet food, you might even hear a quiet little purr while she soaks up a few gentle pets. When she's feeling comfortable, Gertrude's energetic side shines—she loves toys, zooming around with other cats, and staying busy. She would do best in a home with another confident feline friend and without dogs, where she can continue building her confidence at her own pace.
