***AT SHELTER***
Unveiling Cinnamon: the whiskered wonder with a personality that shines.!
Meet Cinnamon, the adorable feline with a heart full of curiosity and a touch of shyness, who hails from the wonderful city of Burlington. Cinnamon was surrendered to a shelter there before coming to EHS, although not much is known of her past or the reasons for her surrender. Cinnamon has put whatever happened back then behind her, and now this gorgeous girl is waiting for her chance to spice up the right family or person's life!
Although Cinnamon is still very timid, progress is being made in small but significant steps. Inch by inch, Cinnamon is becoming more comfortable with humans being in close proximity to her, although she still prefers not to be touched. At playtime during the day, this kitty will find joy in chasing after the elusive red dot of a laser pointer, pouncing on crumpled paper, and exploring the wonders of cardboard boxes. But her absolute favourite pastime is engaging in an epic battle with the feather on a string, displaying her agility and grace. She also loves exploring the house when the moonlight dances through the windows at night. It is during these magical hours that her playful side truly comes out. She loves climbing her cat tree to watch the people and world outside her window. But one thing that has remained constant is Cinnamon's vocal nature during mealtimes. With a unique and utterly adorable meow, she lets her humans know when her tummy yearns for delicious sustenance. The sound is so endearing that it's hard not to immediately respond to her requests.
When Cinnamon feels relaxed and content, she often rests with one leg elegantly extended, adding an air of grace to her already charming persona. It's delightful to witness her alternating between her right and left leg, as if she's performing a carefully choreographed routine just for her own amusement. Despite her timid nature, Cinnamon has a lot of love to give when she feels comfortable in her environment. In her previous foster home, she would actively search for her foster parent when it was time for her meals, and she would enjoy playing with them, lounging next to them, and being petted by them. But a change in environments can cause Cinnamon to regress, so potential adopters should be prepared for this and have plenty of patience and understanding for her.
Cinnamon is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans. She is currently enrolled in EHS's socialization program, where dedicated volunteers are working to help her become more comfortable around people. There have been many successful graduates from this program, but potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Cinnamon along this journey. It should be noted that while some skittish cats might remain reserved, others may express their trust and affection in a variety of ways. A skittish cat will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Cinnamon with a successful transition to her forever home. Additionally, Cinnamon doesn't like other cats or pets, as she prefers to keep to herself. An ideal home would be one where she will be the only pet, and we are still not certain how well she will do with small children. Despite this, Cinnamon is a loving and loyal companion who loves to be around her human family when she feels safe.
Cinnamon the spice is known for its wonderful health benefits, but Cinnamon the cat is looking to add a little bit of spice to your life! Will you open your home and heart to Cinnamon and give her all the love and care she needs?
