Bellini is a gentle and sweet natured little girl who is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can build her confidence at her own pace. She can be a little easily startled and will sometimes let you know when she’s feeling unsure with a hiss or grumble, but she has never shown any aggression, she just needs her feelings respected.
<BR> Bellini could live in a busier household, provided she has access to a quiet space where she can retreat and feel safe when she needs to. She may benefit from a settling-in room initially, though this isn’t essential as long as she has a cosy place of her own.
<BR> She enjoys affection but very much on her own terms. Bellini prefers to be the one to initiate interaction, and she’ll thrive with adopters who are happy to let her approach when she’s ready and give her regular breaks during fuss. With patience and understanding, Bellini will grow in confidence and make a lovely, quietly affectionate companion.
