Meet Scotlyn - VIDEOS

Scotlyn has been with us for a while and now she's ready for adoption. She came to us from another shelter when she proved too shy to adopt out. She had been a stray before that. At our shelter, she huddled motionless in her bed for a long time and did not welcome attention.
We're pretty sure she'd been abused in her past because she cringed and lashed out defensively if a hand came toward her head from above. Volunteers made a point of trying to win her trust. It certainly worked! First she grew livelier and perkier, though she still recoiled from touch. Then she began flirting with us, rolling and wriggling, if we sat with her. Then she could be seen relaxing out in the open instead of inside a covered cubby hole. The biggest triumph is that she'll come to people now and soak up attention while giving a great show of affection herself.
Scotlyn has finally been able to put a painful past behind her and is ready to make new friends. She'd do best in a reasonably calm, stable home (although the shelter environment, to which she's adjusted, is always bustling). She'd probably be overwhelmed by the exuberance of children. (When Scotlyn feels insecure she simply disappears into a nest somewhere.) She's fine among other animals, although she's never made friends with any at the shelter. She's missing an eye due to a perforated ulcer, but is in good health. She's clearly had an unhappy life in the past but she's proven resilient and brave. Now she's ready to trust people with her love and she's ready for her happily-ever-after.

Scotlyn was born around the middle of 2003.
