Meet Gracie! This girl is super sweet and has learned that people aren't so bad. Her foster has been working with her to show this sweetheart that getting pet feels good and that no one is going to hurt her. Her foster says there is still a little work to do with Gracie to get her more comfortable. However, if she is lucky enough to find her new person and forever home sooner than later and they will give her the same patience and understanding, she is going to make a wonderful companion. Gracie came to us scared and reactive to noises and people. She would try to get as small as possible and find a place to hide. Now that her foster has been working with her, she comes out of hiding excited to see her foster and ready for her favorite canned food.The person that chooses Gracie would need to understand her needs and love her with patience. It can be difficult for some cats that come into rescue after being in survivial mode most of their life. It take a while for them to learn that they no longer have to be "on guard." She would benefit from a home where it's more quiet with no expectations. It took Gracie about 3 weeks  with her foster to show that she likes pets and attention and realized that her foster wasn't going to hurt her. Given time to acclimate in a new place she'll be greeting you and without a doubt, she will be a wonderful companion. NOTE: If you are not a serious applicant, DO NOT fill out an application. PAR is a volunteer only rescue and it takes several volunteers to process and respond to each applicant. Our feline's are ready for their forever homes and applicant's that are not serious about adopting can delay them getting adopted or cause them to miss a real opportunity for a home. Your donation to PAR towards adopting your new feline friend covers the cost of their spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccinations and testing for (FIV) Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and (FeLV) Feline Leukemia Virus, microchip and registration.
