Think this is the right place.....
We have adopted a new cat from a foster home. She had been a stray for 1 year and lived with the foster home foe 1 year. She is part of a capture, neuter, release group who felt she could live with s family. She hadn't been adopted due to very shy nature. She has been with us three days. We have two other cats, from shelters, both of which are also shy but not like her. They are pretty gentle cats. She has been in a room by herself. We are trying to understand her nature . She is incredibly sweet. But hides. The other cats are not all that interested in her. They go in,sniff around, and leave. You can touch her, pat her, and she us adapting. She is quite adorable, and can't say that enough. She is not eating much, and never makes a squeak. She had purred somewhat. So first, is she considered a stray? She's in a room by herself. We removed the bed frame to be able to access her more easily. She hides in the long blankets along the bed at the floor. We want her to consider it her room, and not hide in the basement.
She would be hard to find. Any thoughts are appreciated. We are hoping she'll at least be fine around us, even if she hides when others come to visit us. We are three, my wife and 16yo son.
