Ava's Story

Ava is a beautiful girl with trust issues. She's gentle and loves attention but is wary of humans. It's common for Siamese cats to bond with just one person and to take an extended amount of time to accept others.<br/><br/>Her adopter will need to have the patience to put in the time on a daily basis to draw her out of her shell. Ava's fondness for squeezable treats and her (somewhat reluctant) joy at being petted are tools that can be used to break down her barriers. <br/><br/>Originally thought to be best suited to life as a barn cat, Ava was never quite as feral as she seemed at first. Our best guess is that she'd been hurt and that she now just needs to know that she won't be hurt again.<br/><br/>If you have the room in your heart to take on a traumatized little lady and the time and energy to prove your love to her and thaw her cold shoulder, she'll love you forever. <br/><br/>Ava's lived with other cats and is not bothered by them, but we think she would prefer to be an only pet at this time. Once past her distrust, she might be open to sharing her home a feline friend again.
