Recently, she's started making incredible progress in foster care. There have even been mornings when she chose affection over breakfast, rubbing against her foster's legs, climbing into their lap during litter box cleaning, and asking for pets before eating. For a cat like Koala, those moments are huge victories.<br/><br/>She isn't especially interested in toys, though she has occasionally been caught batting around a toy mouse. Most of the time, she's perfectly content to relax in a comfy bed, quietly watching the people she loves while purring softly to herself.<br/><br/>Koala is looking for a patient, understanding home that will celebrate the small victories and give her the time she needs to continue healing. In return, she'll reward you with the privilege of watching a frightened cat discover what it means to feel safe, loved, and cherished.<br/><br/>If You're Thinking About Adopting Me, I Think You Should Know...<br/><br/>The world can still feel a little scary sometimes. Loud noises and surprises make me nervous, and I might run and hide until I feel brave again. But if you're patient with me, you'll discover that I'm really just a soft-hearted girl who wants to be loved. My favorite thing is having my ears scratched while I lean into your hand and purr. Sometimes I even roll over for extra attention. I may not be the first cat to greet visitors at the door, but when I trust you, I'll happily curl up nearby, watch everything you're doing, and remind you just how special it is to earn the love of a gentle soul.<br/><br/>To help Koala go From Foster to Forever, apply today at www.oswegocountyspca.org/adoption-application.html<br/><br/>Important Adoption Information<br/><br/>When you submit your application:<br/><br/>Please notify your veterinarian that we will be calling and that its okay to speak with us.
