People selecting a pet from a shelter will often go to the kittens and pick one out because of their color. A ten-week-old calico kitten is sure to find someone to take her home. But it's different for adult cats. When selecting an older cat, people want to know about the cat's personality, to make sure she will fit into her new home. That's why Butter was passed over for two years, despite her good looks. She was too scared and shy to interact with any potential adopters! Then a medical student took a chance when she heard Butter had been there so long. It took a lot of time and patience for Butter to learn to trust her new human and her new home. The effort was worth it when Butter finally adjusted, and now she loves her human mama so much.
Butter might have had a really hard time adjusting to a family with kids and other pets, but there is a perfect match for every pet owner out there somewhere among all those shelter pets. These two were a perfect match. You can see more of Butter at her Instagram page.
