INTERACTING WITH A TIMID CAT
PFA volunteers have fostered a number of cats and kittens who were socialized late and are shy or timid. When these special cats are adopted, their new guardians will need to take extra time to help them adjust to their new environment. Please see this article for information on interacting with timid cats: /www.pfasask.com/asask.com/2013/03/interacting-with-shy-cat-or-kitten-who.html
