Minka's story
Minka is a very shy but sweet cat. She has no history with other cats, dogs or children so please do a slow intro. Per the foster, Minka is easily frightened by loud noises and would benefit from a calm, quiet household. Once she gets to know you, she loves being pet! Recommend 3-6 months for adjustment time.
When Minka gets into her new home, she should start out in a single room (i.e. the bedroom, office) that still gets a lot of foot traffic but isn't as overwhelming as opening her up to the entire house. It is very important to visit with her multiple times a day (first starting by just talking to her and gradually working your way up to petting her and coaxing her out with treats). She will most likely hide at first, and should stay in the single room until she is actively coming out and seeking attention on her own. Once Minka is adjusted and seems relaxed in the single room, you can slowly introduce her to the rest of the house and the other pets.
