Meet Toulouse, a shy and sensitive girl who came to the shelter with her dear friend Dutchess. Shelter life has been overwhelming for her, and she’s been doing her best to navigate all the new sounds, smells, and faces. For now, Toulouse finds comfort tucked into her covered bed, where she feels safe and can quietly observe the world around her.

Toulouse needs a slow, patient, and understanding adopter—someone who will give her the time and space she needs to settle in and learn that she’s finally home. Once she begins to trust, her gentle spirit starts to shine through, and you’ll see just how special she truly is.

She would thrive in a quiet home with another friendly cat to help her feel secure and show her the ropes. If you have a calm household, a soft voice, and a big heart for shy kitties, Toulouse is waiting for someone just like you to help her blossom. Fill out an application for her here.

If you are interested in meeting Toulouse is person, the shelter has visiting hours on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon until 4 pm.

If you have questions, you can call our office at 603.628.3544 or email felines@manchesteranimalshelter.org
