Hanabi

Hanabi was rescued from an abandoned shed in St. Louis city when she was a kitten. She was very frightened and cautious, understandably, and it took her a very long time to learn to trust and feel comfortable with human contact and affection. She's very docile and has never been aggressive, just lacks confidence. Fast forward a few years, and she's now become my little shadow. She follows me around and looks for any opportunity to beg for pets and attention. She's still a bit skittish at times, but has become such a sweet girl who just wants to love and be loved. Her name, Hanabi, is Japanese and means "fire flower". Not sure about the fire part, but she certainly is a delicate and beautiful flower. She loves other cats and gets along very well with them, but can be easily bullied and is definitely not the alpha type. Nonetheless, she would do best in a home with another friendly and confident kitty who will take her under his/her wing and show her the ropes. Not sure about dogs, but definitely no children please. She would do best in a quiet and calm home with experienced cat parents who understand how to work with shy kitties and will give her the time she needs to blossom. I promise she's worth it - she's just a sweetheart and bonds very closely with her people one she trusts them.
