From her foster "She came to us pregnant and was a little timid and standoffish for the 1st few days. She started coming around us but didn't want to be pet or picked up. A few weeks later she started rubbing up against our legs but was still unsure of being pet. She had 5 kittens & has been the best Mama! She is a big kitten herself. Loves to play!!! While she still doesn't like to be picked up at all, she now lets us pet her and has made her way up onto our laps (even if it's only for a few minutes) & she's slept on the bed a handful of times. She also loves our other cats. If you can be patient & give her the time to come out of her shell you won't go wrong with her as your kitty! "
