Meet Shiitake

Shiitake (DOB: 9/12/2022) is a beautiful brown tabby with white markings, but she's looking for a very specific kind of home. This DSH (Domestic Shorthair) came to us at just one month old, and despite early intervention and a loving foster home, Shiitake remains very fearful of people. While she gets along well with other cats, she prefers her own company and spends much of her time hiding.

Even simple things like vet visits are a challenge, requiring patience and a gentle approach. Though she's healthy and physically lovely, Shiitake isn't interested in being a cuddly companion. She tolerates some petting but clearly prefers to be left to her own devices as she doesn't enjoy it. We suspect something in her early life may have contributed to her timid nature. Therefore, we're seeking a very special sanctuary setting for Shiitake – a quiet, safe place where she can live her days without pressure to interact with humans.

If you have a calm, understanding home and experience with shy or feral cats, Shiitake might be the perfect (low-maintenance!) addition to your feline family.
