Simone (bonded with Cumin)

***Although her two babies are now grown and independent, Simone is still very much attached to Cumin. Now that Chili has found a good home, Simone and her kitten Cumin must go home with her kitten Cumin. <br/><br/>Hi, I’m Simone - a quiet, curious girl with a playful side you’ll get to discover.<br/><br/>Not long ago, my world was entirely outdoors. I raised my two kittens there, doing my best without ever knowing what it was like to live inside a home or be cared for by humans. When we were rescued, my foster was the very first human I had ever met indoors. Everything was new, confusing, and honestly… a little scary.<br/><br/>I may seem reserved at first, but when I feel safe, my personality shines. When no one is watching, I love zooming through cat tunnels, racing down hallways, and wrestling with my kittens. I chirp, meow, and happily entertain myself … I’m just a little shy about showing it off yet. I’m a generally quiet cat who enjoys calm surroundings and observing the world around me.<br/><br/>I’m still adjusting, and I like to take things at my own pace. Right now, I’m not quite ready for pets or cuddles, except during meals when I’m feeling especially brave (and distracted by food). Food is my love language. I love wet food and treats, and they’ve been helping me learn that humans can be trusted. With patience, consistency, and kindness, I know I’ll keep making progress.<br/><br/>Other cats make me feel safe and confident. I love rubbing up against them, asking for grooming, and snuggling close. I would do best in a home with my baby girl Cumin, who can help me feel grounded and more comfortable as I continue to learn how to be a house cat.<br/><br/>I’m polite with my litter box, I scratch where I’m supposed to, and I’m trying my best every day. What I really need is a forever person who understands that love doesn’t always look like instant affection. I may never be the boldest cat in the room, but with time and continued socialization, I have so much potential to blossom.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a low-key companion and find joy in earning a cat’s trust, I can assure you that Cumin and me will make it so worthwhile.<br/><br/>Would you like to make Simone and Cumin a part of your family?
