In the shelter’s words

A Shy Little Soul Hoping for a Safe Place to Bloom Punkin came from a large hoarding case, and she’s still learning that the world can be gentle. She’s a timid girl who prefers to hide and only comes out when she feels safe — usually at feeding time or when treats are involved. But underneath that fear is a cat who wants love more than she knows how to ask for it. Once Punkin is in your lap, she melts into the moment and will let you pet her for as long as she feels secure. Then, when she spots her chance, she’ll scamper back to her hiding place — her comfort zone. She’s not being difficult; she’s just still learning to trust humans after a rough start. Punkin is spayed, rabies‑vaccinated, and has had her first set of shots. What she needs now is a patient, understanding adopter who can give her the time, space, and kindness she deserves.
