About Beryl STA014162
Beautiful Beryl is discovering that life can be full of wonderful things. Having come to us as a stray, she had never known the comfort of a warm bed, loving humans or the joy of playtime. Now in foster care, she's learning that life indoors is pretty special.
With the help of her foster family and a friendly resident cat, Beryl has embraced her playful side. She loves chasing little plush toys, pouncing after wand toys and tearing around the house in joyful zoomies with her feline friend. When she's all played out, you'll usually find her stretched out in a sunny spot, soaking up the warmth, or happily using her scratching post.
Beryl is still building her confidence with people, so she'll need a patient and understanding human who is happy to let her settle at her own pace. Every day she learns a little more that humans can be kind, and watching that trust grow is incredibly rewarding.
She would thrive in a quiet, indoor-only home with a confident, friendly feline companion to help continue showing her the ropes. As Beryl is FIV+, she'd make a wonderful companion for another FIV+ cat looking for a friend. A home without children or canines will give her the calm environment she needs to continue blossoming.
If you believe that the greatest bonds are built with patience, kindness and time, Beryl is waiting to reward you with a lifetime of quiet companionship and trust.
