Katze Josie sucht ein verständnisvolles Zuhause 🐾

Female · Young · 1 year

Josie came to us as a found cat, so her background is not known. She remains very skeptical around people to this day, and therefore, Josie is looking for a very special home with experienced cat people who have no expectations of her and who will give her all the time in the world. One thing is crucial: Josie is not a beginner cat and not a lap cat. She does not want to be pressured and decides for herself how much closeness she is willing to allow. Whether she will ever build trust with people is something we cannot promise. Perhaps she will warm up in a quiet home with patience and understanding—perhaps she just wants to enjoy her life with a compatible cat friend and have as little to do with people as possible. Both should be fine for her future humans. With other cats, however, Josie is very social. Therefore, she should ideally go to a confident, social cat who can give her security and perhaps show her that people aren’t so bad after all. For Josie, we wish for a quiet home without children and with a later outdoor access in a quiet neighborhood. Who will give this special cat the chance at a life according to her own wishes?

DE·Show original

Josie kam als Fundtier zu uns, ihre Vorgeschichte ist somit nicht bekannt. Menschen gegenüber ist sie bis heute sehr skeptisch geblieben und deshalb sucht Josie ein ganz besonderes Zuhause bei erfahrenen Katzenmenschen, die nichts von ihr erwarten und ihr alle Zeit der Welt geben. Eines ist ganz wichtig: Josie ist keine Anfänger- und auch keine Schmusekatze. Sie möchte nicht bedrängt werden und entscheidet selbst, wie viel Nähe sie zulassen kann. Ob sie irgendwann Vertrauen zu Menschen aufbauen wird, können wir nicht versprechen. Vielleicht taut sie in einem ruhigen Zuhause mit Geduld und Verständnis auf — vielleicht möchte sie aber auch einfach ihr Leben mit einer passenden Katzenfreundin genießen und mit Menschen möglichst wenig zu tun haben. Beides sollte für ihre zukünftigen Menschen vollkommen in Ordnung sein. Mit anderen Katzen ist Josie dagegen sehr sozial. Deshalb soll sie unbedingt zu einer souveränen, sozialen Katze ziehen, die ihr Sicherheit gibt und ihr vielleicht zeigt, dass Menschen gar nicht so schlimm sind. Für Josie wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder und mit späterem Freigang in verkehrsruhiger Umgebung. Wer gibt dieser besonderen Katze die Chance auf ein Leben nach ihren eigenen Vorstellungen?
