Michaela's Story

Meet Michalea<br/><br/>Michalea is a stunning black cat with a gentle soul and a heart that bonds deeply once she knows you’re *her* person. She may be shy at first, but give her a little time and patience and you’ll discover an incredibly devoted companion who thrives on closeness and connection.<br/><br/>Once Michalea feels safe, she is **extremely affectionate**—snuggly, vocal, and happily demanding of attention (the best kind, if you love a cat who wants to be involved in everything). She loves to play and has energy to spare, often ready for fun at just about any moment. Wand toys, interactive games, and quality one-on-one time are right up her alley.<br/><br/>Michalea prefers to be the **only cat** in the home, where she can soak up all the love without competition. She’s still a bit timid with people and can be easily startled, but she has made *remarkable* progress during her time in foster care. From a very rough start, she has truly blossomed—warming up to strangers more quickly and showing just how resilient and loving she can be.<br/><br/>Michalea would do best in a calm, patient home with someone who understands shy cats and is excited to build a deep, trusting bond. In return, she’ll give you endless snuggles, playful moments, and a loyal shadow who just wants to be close to her person.
