Meet Gigi
Meet Gigi!
Gigi is a spirited, intelligent girl who knows what she likes-and isn’t afraid to tell you! She’s finding shelter life frustrating, especially being confined, and she’s ready for a home where she can finally stretch out, explore, and settle into a routine of her own.
New people can be a little intimidating for Gigi, so she prefers to take introductions at her own pace. She’s especially uncomfortable with being picked up, and if she feels her boundaries aren’t being respected, she’ll make her feelings known. Because of this, she’s looking for an adopter who understands feline body language, believes in consent-based interactions, and is happy to let trust develop naturally.
The best way to win Gigi over is with patience, consistency, and allowing her to choose when and how she wants to interact. As her confidence grows, so will your relationship. There’s something incredibly special about earning the trust of a cat like Gigi, and the bond that follows is well worth the wait.
Gigi is looking for an experienced cat-savvy home that appreciates cats for who they are-not who we expect them to be. If you understand that respect builds trust, and that every small step forward is a victory, Gigi just might be your perfect match.
