ENID's Story

05/25/26 12:44 Friendly cat that overstimulates and will bite with rough play. - Needs placement help, possible barn cat. mk 07/08/26 17:27 Continues to seek attention but tenses with prolonged pet and or handling. mk 07/29/26 10:29 In ETO room approaches for pets and purrs. Stays close to person seeking attention. Behavior is becomes more social. Cat can overstimulate with more invasive handling (picking up) but seeks attention now. Needs help with placement due to long stay in shelter. mk 09/02/26 15:38 At first, Enid may seem calm and relaxed, but she can become very overstimulated quite suddenly. She is a cat who needs her signals to be respected and her boundaries understood. When she’s had enough interaction, she needs the ability to retreat to her own quiet space and decompress without being followed or pushed for more attention. Enid would do best with an adopter who understands cat behavior and body language, is patient, and knows that giving a cat space is sometimes the best way to build trust. She isn't looking for constant attention—she's looking for someone who will let her come to them on her own terms. A home where Enid can have her own dedicated space, predictable routines, and plenty of opportunities to retreat would be ideal. She may blossom into a wonderful companion once she knows she is safe and that her boundaries will be respected.
