L.A.

Meet LA, Your Future **Working Cat** With Benefits! <br/><br/>LA is a gorgeous 2-year-old long-haired black beauty who is looking for a very specific kind of forever home: a safe indoor/outdoor or barn home where she can have a job, plenty of space, and a human who understands that independence is part of her personality.<br/><br/>LA is undersocialized and has some resource-guarding tendencies, which means she's not looking to be someone's traditional house cat right now. She can absolutely be friendly and social on her terms, but she also needs the freedom to retreat and have space away from people when she wants it. She's not a cat who wants to be constantly handled, picked up, or expected to interact on demand.<br/><br/>In other words, LA is looking for a job as a working cat, with benefits. <br/><br/>Her benefits package includes:<br/> Fresh food and water every day<br/> Veterinary care whenever she needs it<br/> A safe place to live<br/> A cozy hiding spot<br/> Respect for her personal space<br/> A human who loves her exactly as she is<br/><br/>LA will likely thrive as a friendly barn cat who keeps an eye on things while maintaining a little personal space. With time, patience, and a caregiver who lets her set the pace, it's also possible that she'll become more social and eventually decide that indoor kitty life isn't so bad after all. But her new family needs to be prepared to love her for who she is now, rather than adopting her with the expectation that she'll eventually become a cuddly house cat.<br/><br/> Her acclimation period is VERY important<br/><br/>Outdoor cats cannot simply be dropped off at their new home and released. LA's new caregivers must agree to keep her in a secure outdoor enclosure for 6–8 weeks while she acclimates to her new surroundings.<br/><br/>Her enclosure will need:<br/> A secure, escape-proof setup<br/> A hiding spot where she can feel safe<br/> A litter box<br/> Fresh food and water<br/> Protection from the elements<br/><br/>This gives LA time to learn the sights, sounds, and smells of her new home before she's given access to the larger property.<br/><br/>This step is not optional. If LA is released too quickly, she is likely to become disoriented, run away, and potentially never be seen again. We want her new home to become her home, and that takes time.<br/><br/>LA doesn't need someone who expects her to suddenly become a different cat. She needs someone who understands that some cats show their love by being nearby rather than sitting in your lap. Someone who will give her choices, respect her boundaries, provide for her needs, and let trust develop at her own pace.<br/><br/>She may always be a little independent. She may eventually surprise you and become much more social. Either way, she's worthy of a safe, loving home where she can live life on her own terms. <br/><br/>LA's adoption fee is just $25. She's already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a beautiful working cat who comes with a little independence, a strong personality, and absolutely no interest in punching a time clock, LA may be your girl.
