Esmerelda (Essie)

Please Adopt Me! 🩷

Poor Essie is still searching for her perfect home.

Her adoption fee has been reduced to $50 to help her find a home.

We need a truly kind, patient and compassionate cat lover to adopt Essie.

At the moment she's a "love me from a distance" kind of cat, with every chance of becoming friendlier as she continues to build trust. She simply needs time, patience and someone willing to let her settle at her own pace.

She is still very shy and, in a new home, will hide, hiss and may appear aggressive. But please don't mistake fear for temperament. Essie is not feral. She is scared.

Cats like Essie need time, the right environment and, ideally, at least one confident, highly cat-social cat friend who can show them that humans aren't all bad.

Essie is also one of those cats who simply isn't happy living indoors all the time. She needs an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, ideally a quiet regional property or farm where she can safely enjoy the outdoors.

So many people say they want to help save cats like Essie, but the hardest part isn't rescuing them - it's finding someone willing to give them the time they need. The best things in life are worth waiting for, and we truly believe Essie will reward the person who gives her that chance.

Please consider making a difference by welcoming a shy kitty like Essie into your home. In time, these are often the cats who become the most loving and loyal companions.
