Josephine - In foster - Call for appt

Last fall, AWL shared about taking in over 30 cats from a hoarding situation and Josephine was one of them. At 1.5 years old, she was a mom pulled from an overwhelming environment and placed into a completely unfamiliar space with strangers, all while trying to keep her babies safe.A lot of things changed all at once, and she was scared of everyone! She believed hiding was her best option. What Josephine needed most was time to decompress and that time made all the difference.<br/><br/>Today, Josephine is a completely different cat now that she is comfortable in her foster home! She's a low impact house companion who enjoys lounging in the same room as her people, occasionally checking in on what you're doing before settling back into a cozy spot nearby. She loves Churu treats and boiled chicken. She very much has "treat-motivated bravery." She's comfortable around other cats and calm dogs! And when she feels safe, Josephine has allowed gentle handling, nail trims, and even enjoys chin scratches, showing just how much trust she's capable of building.<br/><br/>She may never be a clingy lap cat, but she's already showing curiosity and gentle affection in her own way. Josephine isn't looking for constant attention. She's looking for security, patience, and a quiet place to belong.<br/><br/>In a new home, she may be shy at first and use a little hissing to communicate her boundaries. With patience and consistency, she relaxes and shows her softer side. The right home for Josephine understands that trust is built, not rushed.<br/><br/>Josephine is available for appointment only meet and greets and may be shy during visits as she gets to know new people and spaces. If you think your home could be the safe forever place Josephine has been waiting for, please reach out to schedule a visit. ❤️Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me!
