Each week Niagara Info publishes profiles of pets waiting for adoption from area shelters and humane societies. To find out about adopting the profiled pets call the organizations below. To reach our animal reporter, contact [email protected].
Lincoln County Humane Society: Bindi
Breed: Brown, Domestic Short-Hair: 6 years old, Female.
Doesn’t this round face just scream “smooch me”? Unfortunately, Bindi is terrified of people and shies away from being touched. She was found as a stray and was really scared and timid at the shelter so they moved her into a foster home, hoping that would help her come out of her shell.
In foster care, Bindi is just as shy and although her foster mom really wants to love her, Bindi won’t let her. Get too close and she’s bound to hiss and swat. These behaviors mean that a cat is scared or feels threatened.
Bindi needs a special adopter who can understand her fear and give her LOTS of time and space to learn to trust her new person. Bindi would do best in a quiet and calm home with no kids and no other pets. Although it’s suspected having a laid back cat friend could help her learn to “cat”.
Bindi really needs a human who is as special as she is to see beyond her fear and defences to the special girl underneath and give her all that she needs to live a happy and comfortable life. Someone with some experience with “difficult” cats would be ideal. The humane society is happy to guide adopters to appropriate resources and techniques to help continue Bindi’s socialization.
Bindi is currently making use of a Feliway diffuser and spray and we would recommend that her adopter continue using these products. Bindi would also benefit from a natural supplement product that is used to help cats feel calm. The cost of these products per month would be about $50 and would not likely be forever, but until she has transitioned to her new home and is starting to feel more secure. Bindi is otherwise healthy.
If you think you might be the right match for Bindi, please get in touch with our foster coordinator by emailing [email protected].
