In rescue we often get the call for the homeless, the left behind and the hungry. In Ida’s case we were informed she needed a new home because she had needs not being met. Her story was one of isolation and not much human contact. She had been kept in a single room her whole life without much interaction with any others.

Since taking her in to foster in November Ida has had to adapt to many changes; traveling a great distance to her foster’s house, a new space of a double decker enclosure to adjust to a new human, seeing cats for the first time since kittenhood, adjusting to life in a new home with lots of cats, kittens and new to her dogs. It’s been a slow and sometimes inchworm like movement to introduce Ida to the entire foster home and animals but she’s finally completed her adjustment and is Queen Bee.

Ida is a beautiful Siamese girl with blue eyes. She has a lot of trust issues with humans and is very particular about touch (timing, where, pressure and approach). She will bond with a loving human, as she has with her foster mom but it will take time. She is warming to her foster dad. The older kids are ok but she isn’t keen on a lot of human activity as she was in a room with almost nothing going on for years. She likes boy cats and enjoys the kittens playfulness but can try to assert her Queen Bee status on females of all ages. The 3 big dogs in the house are kind and give her space so she is happy with that. She does enjoy the company of the senior, deaf dog and has been found laying next to the old pup, both happily napping.

Ida will need a special human to help her continue her introduction into a new life. A nice boy cat or gentle dog could be a happy companion for her. A safe place in a yard where she walk in the grass for the first time in her life could be great and help her find that joy of personal space and of nature. She is about 3 years old and ready for happiness for the rest of her life. In Soldotna. Call or text 907 953-0333
