Jillian (spirit cat)

Jillian has been with us for almost a year now. She is ready for a new home! We are sharing both her kitten picture and her with us now. She is no longer a kitten! --- Jillian comes from Windsor. A woman was caring for her and her siblings and were then trapped by FCoEW at around 9 weeks old. After they were cleaned up and vaccinated, we started to work with them. Jillian is the last remaining cat with us from that litter. She would do best with another cat in the house. ------ What is a spirit cat? Spirit Cats are special home companions. These cats are usually very shy with people. They live in your home, but are rarely seen - visitors will probably never see them. We don’t always know what a cat’s life was like before they were brought to the shelter. They may have had difficult or limited experiences with people or did not have socialization at a young enough age. Spirit Cats are likely to spend their time hiding and might not like a lot of attention. They prefer a quiet environment with preferably no children and having a set routine when they can expect your daily interaction, whether it's feeding on a schedule, changing litter on a schedule, etc. Visitors may never even see these spirits. But one day, if the cat has determined that you’ve earned their trust, a spirit cat might rest on the couch next to you or share the same space as you. While not always ideal for families wanting regular interaction with the cats in their home, spirit cats can also make great friends for other cats in your home who might benefit from a companion on the more shy side. While we can make no guarantees that a cat will ever feel comfortable around humans, these cats are just as special and deserving of love and a safe home as others. People who house spirit cats find the experience to be very rewarding and revel in any progress made with the cat and their comfortability in the home.
