Meet Honey: Hopeful (But A Little Shy)

Patch regularly features pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

Honey is an older, long-haired black beauty of a girl who arrived at C.A.R.E. when her person lost her home.

Honey says, "I am beautiful, demure and sweet. I love being brushed and feel so good when I'm getting quiet cuddles and affection. I've had a hard time adjusting to the noisy shelter and have been very scared and withdrawn. I am just starting to come out of my shell. I ended up here after my owner lost her home, so I was used to a nice quiet place where I lived with one woman for 12 years. I'm looking forward to meeting you. I know you'll want to take me home to your quiet, comfy place."

  • Honey would do best in a quiet adult home. She will probably take a long time to adjust to a new home and may hide at first. She will probably always hide from company.
  • Honey has lived with other cats and dogs, but they should be calm and polite so she doesn't feel overwhelmed.
  • Honey is microchipped, spayed, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. She recently had her teeth cleaned.
