Carola – schüchterne Kuschelschönheit auf der Suche

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

My name is Carola. I am female, neutered, and born in 2017. I have been waiting since September 2022 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Carola came to us with her friend Gisela because the mistress unexpectedly passed away. Carola is shy and after the adjustment period, she will allow being stroked without actively approaching visitors. She is insecure and needs time. Here, a patient hand is needed, which allows Carola to adjust first. One must also expect that she likes to play hide-and-seek, especially at the beginning, and she may not be seen. Once she has adjusted, she shows great joy when served, which is the key to cuddling success. Calm hand movements also help her build trust. If one is too intrusive, Carola will retreat. We would like to place Carola as a second cat, as she gets along very well with other animals. With a bit of luck, she can also be placed with Gisela together. Suitable for apartment living is possible, and one can also give her a roam once she has adjusted, if the surroundings are suitable. So, for those who have patience and like to serve treats, you will eventually become friends with Carola. Who would like to offer our shy Carola a beautiful new home where she can feel at home?. This cat needs outdoor access.

Mein Name ist Carola. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2017 geboren. Ich warte seit September 2022 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Carola kam mit Ihrer Freundin Gisela zu uns, weil das Frauchen unerwartet verstarb. Carola ist schüchtern und lässt sich nach der Eingewöhnungszeit schon streicheln ohne aktiv auf Besucher zuzugehen. Sie ist verunsichert und benötigt Zeit Hier ist also eine geduldige Hand gefragt, die Carola erst mal ankommen lässt. Man muss auch damit rechnen, das sie gern Verstecken spielt, besonders zu Beginn wird man sie nicht zu Gesicht bekommen. Hat sie sich eingewöhnt, zeigt sie sich erfreut, wenn serviert wird- darin liegt der Schlüssel zum Kuschelerfolg. Auch ruhige Handbewegungen helfen ihr, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wird man zu aufdringlich, zieht Carola sich zurück. Gern würden wir Carola als Zweitkatze vermitteln, da sie mit Artgenossen sehr gut zurecht kommt. Mit viel Glück auch mit Gisela gemeinsam.Reine Wohnungshaltung ist möglich, gern kann man ihr aber nach Eingewöhnung auch Freigang gewähren, sollte das Umfeld passen. Wer also Geduld hat und gern Leckereien serviert, wird mit Carola irgendwann Freundschaft schließen. Wer möchte mit unserer schüchternen Carola wieder ein schönes Zuhause bieten, wo sie ankommen darf?
