Everything you need to know about Bella, her personality and the home she is hoping for.
Once she feels settled, Bella shows her affection in the most endearing ways, especially when food is involved. Breakfast time begins with soft head bumps, escalates to carefully grooming your eyebrows and hair, and if you still haven't got the hint, you may receive the tiniest, gentlest nose nibble imaginable. During the day, Bella enjoys snoozing in a quiet, secure spot, but she'll regularly pop by to check in on you (and confirm that food still exists). In the evenings, after dinner of course, she likes to join you on the sofa. She's not quite a lap cat yet, but she'll curl up close enough for ear scratches and tummy tickles, soaking up affection on her own terms.
She is wonderfully chatty, adores feather toys, has a serious weakness for stealing hairbands, and firmly believes no human should ever go to the bathroom alone again. She also takes her role as Bath Tap Inspector very seriously.
Bella is a gentle and sensitive cat who takes a little time to feel safe in new environments. She can be quite wary of unfamiliar people, especially men, so she would thrive best in a calm, female-only household where she can build trust at her own pace. She could live with another calm, cat-friendly cat. Bella isn't looking for just any home; she's looking for her person. Someone who understands that trust is earned, and that love can be quiet and slow and deeply rewarding. If you're willing to give Bella the time and tenderness she deserves, she'll give you a lifetime of soft head bumps, gentle company and a truly special bond.
