Hello!
I adopted this sweet girl on 5/11/22. Her name is Ophelia and is about 8 months old. She was apart of the TNR program with a local shelter but they made the decision to transition her to get adopted. They said she was very loving and adjusted well in the shelter.
Since I’ve brought her home, she hides under my bed all day, except when I’m either out of the apartment or am asleep. She has started to eat and drinks water and uses the litter box I have for her. She also gets on the cat tree I have for her during times when I’m not here. I know I need to be patient with her and understand that this is a scary transition for her. I guess I’m just wondering if I need to be doing anything else to encourage her to come see me. She hasn’t let me come near her at all, even when she is out at night. She runs away and goes back into hiding.
If anyone has any advice or anything, that would be super helpful! Just as a new cat owner, I want to make sure I’m helping aid her in the transition and set us up for a loving relationship. Thanks!
