About Bridget
Shy and sweet, Bridget is a gentle love bug who enjoys the company of other cats. She is very cautious of people and does not enjoy pets, however if you bring out a favorite treat, she is there to give you your full attention. You will often find Bridget cuddled up with one of her best buddies as this is what brings her great joy. Her home to be must understand that she will need time, patience, understanding and have steps implemented to help her adjust to your loving home. If you are interested in meeting Bridget, we strongly encourage any potential adopter to visit her numerous times to help build a purrsonal connection with her as well. It is of utmost importance that our shy cats are adopted to homes that either have experience with shy natured cats or are willing to learn how to provide a safe, encouraging environment for them to continue to shine. We offer support as we want each transition to be successful and smooth. Bridget's left eye has shown improvement, however it is something her potential adopter will want to keep watch on.
