I’ll be honest: I might give a little hiss when we first meet, but please don't be offended! It’s just my way of saying, "I’m a bit nervous, could we go slow?" I wouldn’t actually hurt a fly—I’m all heart, just wrapped in a layer of shyness.<br/><br/>The "Social Distance" Specialist<br/>I love being around people, but I prefer to start as a "background character." I’ll hang out in the same room as you, watching from a safe distance until I feel sure. Once I trust you, I might even surprise you by hopping into your lap! If I do, please stay very still—I’m still learning that affection is safe, and I’d hate to be spooked away from a good snuggle.<br/><br/>Working on My Bravery<br/>I’ll admit it: I’ve been known to be scared of my own shadow. It’s just so... shadowy! But I’m making great progress and learning that my shadow is just a friend who follows me everywhere. I just need a calm environment where I can continue my "bravery training" at my own pace.<br/><br/>Ophelia’s Perfect Match:<br/>• The Gentle Type: I need a human who understands that "slow and steady" wins the race. Loud noises and fast movements make me want to hide, so a quiet home is best.<br/>• The Patient Observer: Someone who finds joy in the small victories—like the first time I purr or the first time I don't jump at my shadow.<br/>• A Calm Sanctuary: I get along with others as long as they are peaceful and respect my personal space while I’m settling in.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals!
