I'm Rosanna

—a shy and sensitive female cat looking for a calm, patient home.

This is me:

I'm an insecure and anxious cat who doesn't yet like to be petted. Everything here at the shelter is still scary for me—that's why I hide a lot. New people and unfamiliar situations still frighten me. Therefore, I need someone who will treat me with patience and understanding and give me the time I need to build trust.

If I feel pressured or someone looks at me too intently, I might swat with my paw. I do this to clearly indicate that the situation is becoming too much for me. That's why it's especially important that my future family understands my body language and respects my boundaries. I want to be able to decide for myself when I allow closeness and when I prefer to have my peace and quiet – especially at first. Perhaps I'll become braver and more trusting over time. No one can promise whether or when I'll ever enjoy being petted. That's why I wish for people who will love me even when I prefer to keep my distance. But with lots of peace and patience, I'm sure a lot is still possible… I wish for… a quiet, loving home with patient and understanding people who don't have any expectations of me and will let me settle in slowly at my own pace. I would feel most comfortable in a small household with one or at most two consistent caregivers. There shouldn't be any children in my new home. I'd like an indoor home with plenty of space, ideally around 50 to 60 square meters. There, I would also like to have cozy retreats where I can feel safe and relax undisturbed. I am looking for a home as the only princess.

Would you like to get to know me?
