Arriving with us as a timid soul, Esmeralda was placed into foster a calm and quiet foster home where her sweet and cautious behavior is ever blossoming.
From her Foster Home
Esmeralda gets a strong 5 Star rating from us!
If it wasn’t for our existing cat being a bully & not accepting Esmeralda into ‘her’ house, we would have 100% been a foster fail because we are completely smitten with Esmeralda.
She is shy & timid but super sweet. Will take a little bit to settle in, so needs some patience & kindness from her hoomans. But if she’s in a comfortable safe space & you approach her slowly, gently & calmly then she settles quite quickly
She can be quite flighty with sudden moves or loud noises –but then once the environment settles she’ll venture out again.
After 4wks+, she’s comfortable enough to come up to the door when we’re entering, come towards us for a pat & a scratch, & if you sit on the floor with her, she’ll love a good long soft pat & scratch, especially under the chin. She does not enjoy being picked up, she would much rather her paws firmly planted on the ground.
Take it a bit slower in getting her comfortable with patting the back through to the tail – it was an incremental process with her but now she enjoys a pat all the way to the end of her fluffy tail.
She’s very food motivated! Always looking for some more! And she just hoovers it up.
We called her Squeaky – because the gorgeous little noise she makes when she wants to chat or tell you that she’s hungry or get your attention. It’s gorgeous/sweet.
We can’t say enough good things about Esmeralda. She was just a delight & we’ll miss her terribly.
