Adoption information
About Buttercup STA015585
Beautiful Buttercup came into our care as a stray, so her life before arriving with us remains a mystery. What we do know is that underneath her shy exterior is an incredibly sweet and gentle lady who deserves a wonderful forever home.
Buttercup can be nervous when meeting new people and finding herself in unfamiliar surroundings. Moving into a new home will be another big change for her, so she'll need a patient family who understands that trust and confidence take time.
Give Buttercup the opportunity to settle in and get to know you, and you'll discover just how lovely she is. She enjoys attention and affection, and there's something very special about watching a shy cat begin to realise that she's finally somewhere safe.
Buttercup isn't looking for a home filled with noise and activity. Her perfect world would be quiet, calm and predictable, without children or dogs, where she can relax and build a beautiful bond with her humans at her own pace.
If you have a peaceful home, a gentle heart and a little patience to give, Buttercup may just blossom into the beautiful companion you've been waiting for.
