After raising her final litter of kittens with gentle devotion, Hazel is ready for her well-earned retirement home and family. What Hazel needs now is a soft landing in a quiet, loving forever home. Hazel is a calm and delicate soul. Life hasn’t always been easy for her, and as a result, she’s quite timid, especially around new people. But don’t let that discourage you — this beautiful girl has a heart full of love, and she just needs time, patience, and understanding to show it. Her incredible fosterers have spent countless quiet hours simply being present, showing her that not all humans are scary. With time, Hazel has learned that gentle people, warm rooms, and the soft rattle of her favorite treats mean safety and comfort. She may not leap into your lap right away, but she will always come closer when she hears those treats — a small step that shows just how much she wants to connect. Hazel would thrive best in a calm and predictable home, ideally with someone who understands that trust takes time and love is often shown in the smallest, quietest ways. If you’re someone who believes in the magic of patience and wants to give a deserving cat a second chance, Hazel is waiting to meet you.
