Rosalee

Oh, Rosalee. <br/><br/>Rosalee came to us alongside Nora and Rhett, two other kittens who also found their way to animal control alone, without their littermates. Animal control told us Rosalee had been found in a ditch and brought in by a concerned citizen. She was sick, frail, and understandably scared.<br/><br/>We nursed her back to health and quickly learned something very important about Rosalee: she is a shy girl through and through.<br/><br/>Rosalee usually prefers to keep about four feet between herself and people, and if you approach her too quickly, she will make a very polite exit. She even has the cutest little cringe when offered pets, which somehow only makes us love her more.<br/><br/>We have known many cats like Rosalee over the years. Some take months, and some take years, before they begin seeking affection, lying beside their people, and truly relaxing into a home. They may never become cats who enjoy being picked up, and that is okay.<br/><br/>If you are looking for an instant lap cat, Rosalee is probably not your girl. But if you understand that love can look different for every cat, she may be exactly the kind of special companion you are looking for.<br/><br/>Rosalee absolutely loves playing with her Thistle Cat kitten friends, and wet food dinner is one of the highlights of her day. Because of her shy personality, we know there is a chance she may remain a forever Thistle Cat. But we also know there may be someone out there who will love her exactly as she is and give her all the time in the world to feel safe.<br/><br/>Rosalee does not need to be changed. She just needs to be understood.
