Muriel

Muriel is a shy, sensitive senior girl who’s looking for a very special home—one that understands the needs of a nervous cat and is willing to let her take life at her own pace. At 15 years old, she’s had a lot of change recently and is currently very shut down in the cattery environment. She spends most of her time hiding and will hiss if approached too closely, so she’ll need a calm, quiet home with someone experienced in caring for anxious cats. Muriel isn’t seeking affection right now and has shown little interest in interacting with people so far. She would thrive in a peaceful household with a spare room set up just for her, complete with plenty of cozy hiding spots, cat trees, and enrichment items like a scratch post, draped blankets, and hanging bamboo tunnel. It’s important she isn’t given access to more of the home until she’s confidently moving around her safe room with her new person present, as too much space too soon could set her back. She may never be a lap cat, but with time, patience, and understanding, Muriel could grow into a more confident companion. If you have a quiet home and the heart to give an anxious older cat the chance she deserves, Muriel could be the one for you.
