About Adora18

Adora did not start her life in a good place. A kind soul witnessed her being dumped in a park at night and then brought to the shelter where she was so terrified that she bit a volunteer. She did not break the skin but she was put on a bite quarantine anyway and isolated away from people and other cats. When we found her there, she was sad and dejected so we took her into our program in the hopes that we could show her what it means to be loved. Her foster quickly realized that Adora had been abused in her former home. She believed that when her foster reached out to pet her that she was going to hit or grab her instead. She did not want to be picked up at all and would curl up in a ball and grab hold and bite. But she NEVER broke the skin. She was just trying to protect herself and didn't realize yet that she would never be handled roughly, hit or hurt again. She seemed to think that her foster was going to throw things at her or swat her with a broom and was very cautious. It is truly heartbreaking to see a kitten react this way. After some time and patience, she started to come around and we could see that she was starting to trust us and realize that she was safe from harm. She has come so far in such a short time and we just love her! She is strikingly beautiful with her almost charcoal coloring and her perfectly triangular face. She is sleek and soft and loves to be petted as long as you can tell when it's time to stop. She absolutely loves other cats and dogs and will love her people too. We would not recommend young children due to her history of abuse. She does love to sit in your lap and instantly purrs when touched. She has started sleeping on the bed with her foster at night and is a huge fan of the fuzzy blanket. She pushes and nurses on it and then curls up for a nap. Please give this girl a chance and show her that not all humans are mean.
