Tortie cat has been adopted twice… and returned twice… all because she’s too shy
Sadie the shelter cat has been adopted out twice and sadly returned twice. The Atlanta Humane Society believes it’s because she’s a little too shy for people’s taste. She likes to sit in the corner and relax, and people watch, but she’s also a love bug when she wants to be.

"She prefers things on her own terms," Christina Hill, director of marketing and communications for the Atlanta Humane Society (AHS), told The Dodo. "[Sadie] has more of an independent personality, which isn't too uncommon for a cat, but she will need someone who is willing to give her the space she wants when she asks for it."

Sadie first came into the care of AHS in April 2015, but she'd been looking for a home for months before that. "She's very likely been looking for a forever home for at least 2 years," Hill said.
It was during 2015 that Sadie was adopted and returned twice. Since then, Sadie hasn't had anyone interested in adopting her for nearly 14 months.
"She would really like to be the only pet in the house which makes it a little bit more difficult to find her a home," Hill said.

But Sadie loves people, and when she wants some loving, she will come up and demand it! She loves head kisses and being brushed.

"Our team loves her," Hill said. "She's patiently waiting for someone to be patient with her and provide her a loving home."
