Mocha was adopted from SAFE (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) and she has become a very welcome member of our family. Though she is a little stand-offish and we wish she was more of a lap kitty, she brings joy to our house.

Beautiful kitty! I rescued an abused kitty 10 years ago. She was also a bit standoffish, but she eventually warmed up. It took 2 years, and now she is my little snuggle bug!
Mocha is so cute. I adopted a cat when he was 7. He was standoffish at first. He had been abused. Once he learned that we weren’t going to hurt him he came around. It took a while though. He turned into the sweetest cat. Just give him time and lots of love!
Can someone please tell me how I can get more information on SAFE? I want to save cats too. Please. Email me. I want to make a difference for these precious things
My kitty loves to be petted, curl around our legs, etc. but isn’t much of a lap kitty either…some just aren’t. You can be sure Mocha loves you, though!
We adopted a a kitten, Calvin, from a shelter, and he was a bit shy for a few years. As he got older, he became more comfortable with us, and eventually he liked sitting on my lap…as long as I didn’t move a muscle. His favorite kind of attention from me was a pat on the head. He’d sit up and rub his head into my hand.
So yes, non lap kitties do bring a lot of joy. He’s waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge now. I can’t wait to pat him on the head again.
I have two kitty adoptees of my own. They eventually turned out to be even better friends than my first. My first cat was a pure-bred silver chincilla. He was much more independent minded. Shadow, who we brought it as a sad little stray when we heard him on our backporch, now curls up with me every Sunday while I read the newspaper. I agree; Mocha will come around.
Mocha is so cute and reminds me of my Chuck. He is 2 yrs. old and was from a rescue group. He was kept in a closet in NYC when he was a kitten. When we first got him, he was in hiding most of the time, now he sits with us on the couch and is pretty friendly. And he gets friendlier every day. He is still a little wary… Can’t blame him though. He is an orange tiger with white paws and pink toes/nose. too cute.
Both of my cats were rescued! I wouldn’t trade either of them for all the gold in the world. They are both black and have totally different personalities. Salem is the lap cat and Samantha is standoffish. Having a cat is much better than a dog…you don’t have to walk a cat;) Before anymore misunderstands, I love all of God’s creatures.
She is the clone of my son’s kitty, Precious. Precious is a Bombay - Abyssinian and orange tabby - and being totally standoffish is a trait of the breed! She is either a total hussy with her “Daddy” or the banchee of all felines…but we love her anyway
I adopted a feral kitten 12 years ago. Jake was very stand-offish. (for several years actually!) Of my 5 cats, he is now the most demanding of love and attention. Give Mocha time & all the loving she will accept for now. She’ll come around.:-)
I rescued to ‘wild’ cats……that had been abandoned in the hills of Montana…………..it may take a bit of time. But they.., ‘binx’ and ‘baby’, became the biggenst love bugs on the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God you saved Mocha, I have a manx and he was very timid, but now he is my sweet lap cat. He lost his brother to blader problems on Christmas night, We helped each other thru the grieving process.
I got My kitty 18 years ago from My parents back yard.Susie was a little standoffish at first, but I guess she decided that she liked where she was now.She RUNS the house LOL
For reduncancy sake, Mocha will come around. My first Kitten Sheba, was *very* standoffish. But after a few nights she began to sleep on top of my head in bed at night. She was rescued. I got her for my birthday close to 15 years ago, and she passed away the week of my birthday this past year. She was the first of many. But like most things, you never forget your first. I am sure she is waiting for me on the other side of the Rainbow bridge. Patience is key. Good luck.
my Bagheera (Havana Brown) likes to cuddle under the covers too! she will lay between me & my husband to seperate us in our sleep, then pin me to the wall (the bed is against the wall on my side), go under the blankets, and curl up behind my knees!
This is a sweetheart!!! Me and my husband just adopted a rescue kitten from a local volunteer agency who takes them to Pet Smart. God Bless You for saving this adorable baby!
All it takes is a little time. She may come around. My aunt had adopted a kitten from a litter that she and her co-workers found. She had to bottle feed her. She was really affraid of people. All thoughs years I never saw her. She hid all the time. But your kitty is older, she might come around.

Mocha is adorable NOW, but it’s obvious this kitty has the DNA to grow up and be ONE HANDSOME FELINE!!
I love the white ‘blob’ that rund from between his eyes down to his nose and mouth. It’s like an upside down lightbulb!
Mocha is beautiful! She’ll come around and before you know it she’ll be a snuggler!

She is gorgeous. I venture you will have a lap kitty as she begins to mature. Be patient.
