Drizzy

Drizzy is a beautiful girl with a big, brave heart hidden under layers of shyness. We won't sugarcoat it: Drizzy is frightened of people, and she's honest about it. Sudden movements, loud noises, and direct human attention send her scurrying for a hiding spot. While she may never be a lap cat, we believe Drizzy would thrive as a "Working Cat" where she gets to do what she does best-be a discreet, effective mouser and keep an area free of rodents.

What Drizzy needs:
-- A safe, stable environment like a barn, stable, warehouse, or garage.
-- Minimal pressure to interact. She needs a caretaker who is content to simply provide food, water, and care from a respectful distance.
-- Time and space to adjust to his new territory. Drizzy will likely hide for days, possibly weeks, as she acclimates.
-- A job! She is motivated to hunt and will be a valuable, low-maintenance member of your team.

Drizzy is not a pet for cuddling, but she is a testament to the resilience of a feline spirit. If you have a space that needs a quiet, dedicated worker and you have a compassionate heart for a cat who simply needs to be left alone to live her best life, Drizzy is waiting for you.
