Matilda's Story

Meet Matilda! She is a shy girl but is showing a lot of interest in befriending people. Her favorite hobby is hanging out in a soft bed where she can make biscuits. She has no problem lounging where people are and watching them, all it takes it some one-on-one time to warm her up! She enjoys cuddling with her friends and delicious treats. Her calm demeanor makes even more grouchy cats trust her! Help Matilda feel safe in a home where both she and you can enjoy each other's company!<br/><br/>++++++++++++++++++++<br/><br/><br/>Settling In: Embracing the Rule of Threes Transitioning to a new environment is quite a journey for a cat. To assist with this, we like to remember the Rule of Threes, a timeline to help you gauge your new cat's acclimation:<br/><br/><br/>• 3 Days: Time to unwind and begin to understand their new surroundings. Feeling safe. <br/>• 3 Weeks: Familiarization with their new home and daily routines. Knowing their home means they’re easier to get back home if lost. <br/>• 3 Months: Full integration into the family, truly feeling at home, personality comes alive. They blossom! <br/><br/><br/>Remember, patience is key! Behavioral changes are part of the process. For more insights on acclimation, head to our FAQ section at https://www.feralaffairs.org/faq/.<br/><br/><br/>Our Promise for Every Cat and Kitten: Before coming home with you, each cat is:<br/>• Spayed/neutered to promote their health and wellbeing.<br/>• Vaccinated, including rabies & FVRCP, to protect against diseases.<br/>• Microchipped for an added security blanket - to reunite you when picked up and scanned. <br/>• Screened for FIV & FeLV, ensuring they start off healthy.<br/>• Treated to remain parasite-free, because comfort matters.<br/>• Given any additional veterinary care needed for ongoing health issues.<br/>• Sent home with a full medical history to hand to your vet’s office.<br/><br/><br/>Ready to Adopt?
