More and more, Beatrix pokes her head out of her cat tree’s hidey hole. The four-year-old, spayed, always vaccinated, house cat has been hiding ever since her people brought her and her brother back to the shelter. The shelter staff doesn’t mind welcoming back former residents. Still, when the cats left as kittens, it’s painful.

 Of course, it’s more painful for the pets. Beatrix understood her world, its rules, its safe spots, its sources of love. Now she’s been dumped into an unknown, surreal universe. So, Beatrix has been hiding, waiting to awaken from what feels like a nightmare.

 However, Beatrix knows how to love people. In fact, that was her purpose, her joy. So, finally, Beatrix is peaking out, looking for someone to love.
