About Lexie - Located in Braybrook
Shy star seeks a starring role.
Lexie is a pretty wallflower looking for a gentle human to take center stage in your life. Being a shy lady Lexie is not confident to sit on your lap or come to you voluntarily but enjoys having her coat brushed while sitting inside her crate. This is her secure spot where she is accepting of pats with her little head turned away while she quietly purrs. She will hiss on approach. Sometimes. If you will be her leading gentle someone and take the time to brush and pat her coat, with confidence, you will discover without much effort that she is the sweetest lady. She is best suited with a mature human understanding that she is still fearful of humans.
Lexie loves spending time in the cat garden with the resident cats generally lazing about. Being a low energy timid character Lexie is content to be ignored. However, she’s shown to be wanting to participate with her human foster family and is often found watching from afar, willing herself to navigate through the house without being seen.
Lexie has happily shared her foster home with an assortment of cats and cat-friendly dogs but to the detriment of her spending quality time with her human carers. She needs a patient human to give her one to one attention to show her humans can be gentle and caring so she can ditch the habit of hiding and hissing.
Her future with you.
Ideally, Lexie would suit a quiet home. Either as a solo cat or a companion for your existing cat. She has been the target of bullying by fellow foster and resident cats but has also formed strong bonds with them. She is proven amiable with other cats sadly even if they are not towards her! Lexie has not interacted with children and is not suitable as a companion for children. In order to appear small and invisible, Lexie wants to squeeze into small spaces and hide. An apartment or small house would be a fine space to draw her into your world. In the right home our little wallflower will emerge the prima donna and loyal friend for life.
