Durham's Story

Durham was found outside in the cold with serious wounds, the kind that could have ended her story. They didn't. She recovered fully and has been settling into indoor life since, spending her days resting and hanging out with her foster siblings. She's still warming up to people, more comfortable with cats and if you have one, warms ups to humans fast too! She enjoys pets and getting more and more cuddly by the day!<br/><br/>She's the kind of cat who will pick her person over time rather than immediately. For the right home, that slow trust is worth it.<br/><br/>NJ adopters only, within 1 hour of North Bergen
