Hailey took motherhood VERY seriously and made it clear she was not interested in opinions, assistance, or unexpected visitors anywhere near her baby. She was an incredible mama who protected her kitten fiercely through every stage of raising him.

Now that her kitten is grown and she is no longer running purely on hormones and survival instincts, Haileys softer side is slowly starting to show again. She is still cautious and likes to take her time deciding how she feels about people and new situations, but the intensity she carried as a new mother is beginning to settle.

Cats from situations like hers often need extra time, patience, and gentle expectations while they learn that people and affection can feel safe again.

Hailey is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, dewormed, and FIV/FeLV tested.
