Noelle has been waiting for someone to give her a chance for months. She is a wonderful cat, needing a special home. She was adopted at 8 weeks old by herself, and surrendered to us at 3 years old.
Noelle is an example of “single kitten syndrome”. In her case, that presented as aggression towards the husband and kids in her adoptive family. Noelle bonds strongly to one person; in her adoptive family that was the female adult of the household.
For these reasons, Noelle would do best in a quiet household with a female adult and no kids. She *may* accept a male in the household, but only if it is a cat-savvy individual who can read Noelle’s body language and be patient with her.
When she is around “her person” she thrives — loving, relaxed, cuddly, talkative. Biscuits and butt hikes for days. One of her favorite things with her current foster mom, is to crawl in bed under the covers and cuddle every morning. 🥹
She can become stressed with too much commotion or unfamiliar people. But she is great about giving typical “cat signals” if she is getting overstimulated — she will flatten her ears and her tail will begin to intensely switch back and forth. If given some time and space in these situations, she calms down and is fine.
Given Noelle’s “quirks”, it has been difficult to get her adopted out. She does not do well at adoption events — too busy and scary for her and she gets overwhelmed. We will share some videos of her in the comments as well so you can see for yourself that she’s a wonderful cat when she’s in the right environment! ❤️
