What is a Wallflower?
Wallflower: a shy cat or kitten who is too afraid or insecure to involve themselves in social activities. When a wallflower is given the proper time, attention, and love they need to bloom- they are so very beautiful.
​
Our Wallflower program is for under-socialized and misunderstood cats and kittens – those most in need of help. In the right home, a Wallflower will flourish and live their best lives!
About our Program
Who should adopt a Wallflower Cat?
Wallflower Cats make great companions but need a special owner willing to be patient, provide a safe, space, and give extra love so the cat can become comfortable in their new environment. Ideal adopters should understand Wallflowers need time to adjust to their new home their own pace.
What type of home is needed for a Wallflower Cat?
The ideal home environment for a Wallflower Cat is quiet, stable, and offers a predictable routine. Each cat will have different needs specified in their bio, but some tend to prefer homes without young children, or a busy, active home. Some Wallflowers may be okay with another calm cat or kitten. In some cases, another cat or kitten can help the Wallflower feel more confident in their new home.
How can I help Wallflower Cats?
You can help our Wallflower cats by sponsoring an adoption fee, or donating your time to volunteer at Greater Hillsdale Humane Society.
Meet our Wallflowers
Fantine
Meet Fantine!
​
Fantine is a bit shy in our shelter but is starting to warm up to people. She lives in our Social Room with the other free-roaming cats and has lots of opportunities for love and attention. We think she would probably do best in a home with another affectionate cat that already trusts humans.
​
Fantine doesn’t seem to like dogs; she’s afraid of them when she sees them through the glass here in the shelter. She loves wet food, crunchy treats, and watching the birds outside in the yard.
​
Fantine is spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccines, and tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV.

Sriracha
Meet Sriracha, a kitten with a fiery name and an equally vibrant personality. Don't let her RBF….er, her seemingly stern expression fool you; Sriracha is actually pretty sweet. She was feral when she came in and would hiss at our staff. Now she has learned that humans can be pretty awesome, especially when they feed her treats! She just can’t help but have that irritated look on her face!
​
Sriracha's looks aside, she is an independent soul who will love you according to her own rules. She doesn’t mind being held and will sit with humans to get brushed and groomed. She doesn’t love other cats, but she might do well with another cat that is also independent.
Sriracha is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all of her vaccinations, and tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV.
