I would just give her time to adjust. But you also should take time during the day and evening to go to the basement and play with her and love her. Get her some special toys and maybe a nice basket or kitty bed, plus a scratching post. She'll adjust. It just takes time.

And I wanted to say "thank you' for taking that sweet girl from the pound. I can't believe she was there for six months. No wonder she's scared. Can you imagine being in a cage for six months? At least that beats the alternative.

Good luck to you and your new kitty.
