Coraline
Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · Baby (2 months 4 days) · Female · Medium · Seaford, DE
Notes from Whimsical Animal Rescue, Inc. of Sussex County Animal Association
Coraline's story started behind a fence, where she was found screaming for help. Somewhere along the way, humans had failed her, and she learned that hiding was the safest way to protect herself.
Since coming into our care, Coraline has made wonderful progress, but she is still learning that people can be trusted. She is a very special girl, which is why we will be extremely particular about the home we choose for her.
Coraline needs a quiet, calm, patient home where she can continue building her confidence at her own pace. She is not a good match for a loud or chaotic household, and her adopter must understand that trust takes time. She needs someone who will never force her, rush her, or expect her to become am affectionate lap cat overnight.
Her adopter needs to understand that earning her trust is a process. She needs someone who will see how special she is, and be committed to giving her the peaceful, secure life she deserves.
Coraline has already had humans fail her once. We are determined to make sure that never happens again.
She has already survived the hardest part. Now Coraline just needs someone willing to put in the time and work to earn her trust. The journey may take some patience, but the reward of watching her blossom and knowing she finally feels safe will be twofold.
