Jasmine

Like Cecilia, Jasmine was living in a cat colony before she was trapped and brought to the sanctuary. Unlike Cecilia, while she's no longer quite so terrified of humans as she was initially, she's never really become tame. You may look, but not touch.

She may be strict about the hands-off rule with humans, but she has no such problems with other cats, as you can see in the picture below:

Maybe someday Mario will take her under his social wing, or she'll discover that some treats are worth approaching a human hand for. Until then, we'll just have to make do with the visual of this pretty kitty.

    She really is a beauty. She caught my eye right away. I tried to get photos of her too, but she is leery of people so it was hard.

    But, I DID get to touch her, twice now. her fur is very soft, and to me she's Panda cause she looks like a red panda(sorta). BTW the first time it only took 15 min, the second it took about 5 or 10 min. How have you guys never touched her?
