People vacated an apartment, leaving outrageous filth and debris behind - and also 10 cats. Isabel was one of those cats.Cute little Isabel was very frightened and underweight at 5.6 pounds, but otherwise healthy. She was estimated by the vet to be just one year old at the time (December 2021). 




Since joining her Cat Shack foster home, Isabel has settled in happily. She is still very shy and is not pettable, but she is a sweet cat who gets along well with all of her foster buddies. She is now a healthy, normal weight. She enjoys going off by herself at times to take cat naps in a cat bed or pile of laundry up on a shelf. Her foster mom can get close to her and Isabel will even sniff her outreached fingers, but Isabel will not yet allow herself to be touched.
Isabel deserves loving care from someone who understands her shyness and will allow her to progress at her own pace. A calm, quiet household with the opportunity for more individualized attention would be the ideal situation to help her blossom. Isabel has always lived with multiple other cats so should definitely have a feline buddy or two. A young male cat named Vinny (shown in picture below) who was rescued from the same situation and is most likely her brother, would also be a perfect buddy for Isabel.
