Daisy is a sweet, mature, almost-nine-year-old lady looking for her forever home! She was one of four girls born to a feral mama in an enclosed porch of an old home. The homeowner brought all four into his home, where they lived until he had to move to a nursing home.Daisy loves to be petted but needs her human to have patience until she can grow to trust them. Even then, she tends to be comfortable with being approached only in areas she has deemed "safe zones" - on her preferred chair, couch, bed, or an ottoman that sits next to you at the computer desk. This lovely lady will put her paws on your arm to be petted, but she does not want to sit in your lap.A discerning gourmet, this pretty girl is a big fan of her Temptation Chicken Treats and will eat them right out of your hand. After treats, she will snuggle in close for pets to her cheeks, head and all the way down her back to the base of her tail. An inquisitive lady, Daisy loves to play with a wand toy and catnip toys and will definitely have a daily "zoomie" moment. Her favorite places to hang out are on a window catshelf, the top of the cat tree, or in her little cat house.She is looking for an extraordinary human with a special understanding of a cat that wants so much to be loved but has to present, initially, as being a bit reserved or stand-offish. The absolute best reward ever will be when, as she feels safer, her façade breaks down and you hear her loud engine purr as she sits next to you while being petted. This beautiful lady is very alert and watches your movements with bright green eyes. Once you have gained her trust, she allows affection in places where she feels comfortable. Daisy currently lives with four other cats, but she and her sister are separate from the other three when there is no supervision. She likes to be dominant and reminds me a bit of a German Shepherd, wanting to keep track of where all the other cats are and what they are doing. Because of this, I think Daisy would be happiest as an only cat, with humans who work from home or are around a lot.Daisy needs her humans to be patient, cat-savvy, and preferably have experience helping more reserved cats come out of their shell and feel confident and loved. She does get more outgoing once she feels at home, but because of her life experiences, she will probably always be a bit on the careful side. However, she is also loving and affectionate. There will be a tremendous reward for the person who can break through the barriers Daisy has created to protect herself, to discover how ready she is to give and receive love in her own way. Daisy has done that in her foster home and can do it again with the right person. Could that be with you?There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.
