WHAT IS A SPIRIT CAT?
Spirit Cats are lively but independent animals. This means that they are shy and under-socialized. This can be caused by any number of factors, but commonly, this stems from their introduction to human beings happening at a later stage of development

A spirit cat's understanding of companionship will take some time to develop, but with your patience and support, they can become more comfortable with you in your home. A quiet environment will suit them best, with respectful family members who understand their needs.

It is most important that Spirit Cats go to a loving home that understands their unique needs and will allow the relationship to grow in the cat's own time. The beauty, grace, and charm of a Spirit Cat fills a home with love! Though you may not see them very often, you will never be home alone and will always have a companion nearby.
