When Spice was surrendered into care she was absolutely terrified and stayed hidden from me for several weeks. Time though has seen Spice adjust to her new surroundings and she is now happy to mix with myself and my family. She's still apprehensive about the other cats and terrified of my dog but no longer runs and hides when one or the other is about. With humans, Spice is incredibly affectionate. Her loud purr always a sign that she loves being scratched behind the ears or at the base of her tail. And if you allow her to snuggle into bed with you, you'll have one extremely happy pussycat. :) Spice is a good eater and is litter trained. Currently, she is indoors only. I believe Spice would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a quiet, loving and gentle cat who is no bother whatsoever.
