Gigi is waiting for you at Pet Haven Inc. of MN in Saint Paul, MN 55103. Hi, my name is Gigi, and I'm a sweet 6-year-old girl looking for my forever family!This has been the biggest year of my life. For the first time, I know what it feels like to be treasured, loved, and truly cared for. I've spent the past nine months in two wonderful foster homes, and I think I'm finally ready to share my heart with a family of my own.My life didn't always look like this.For a long time, I didn't know what a real home was. I had never experienced a soft bed, warm blankets, gentle cuddles, or toys to play with. I spent up to 22 hours a day confined to a cage, and over time I became frightened of everything.

Everything was new, and trust took time.Little by little, I began to believe I was safe.First I trusted my foster mom, then my foster dad. Now I confidently explore the whole house, spend time relaxing in the living room, chase balls, pounce on wand toys, and snuggle with my foster mom at bedtime, often sleeping tucked into her arms beside her head. Sometimes I'm even brave enough to sleep between both my foster parents. My favorite moments are when my foster mom gently rubs my belly, scratches my chin, and whispers that I'm loved and special. Those quiet moments make me purr so happily that I sometimes drool a little.I'm looking for a calm, patient family that understands trust is built over time. I'll need a quiet home where I can settle in at my own pace, with kind words, gentle encouragement, and plenty of love. I'm still easily startled by sudden movements, loud noises, and unfamiliar people, so a peaceful environment is very important to me.My dream home would be with someone who is home most of the day and enjoys the quie
