Awwe. I have a rescue cat and she was the same way when I got her over a year and half ago. I think she was taken away from her mom early and that usually has a big effect on cats & dogs and their socialization skills. They learn at an early age from their mother what's safe and not safe and if taken away too early they don't learn and have a hard time adjusting. Do you know if that's the case? If it is it will take some time. I noticed with my cat the more I let her be and slowly and carefully forced myself on her the better she got. However, the more I forced myself on her the more frightened she was and the more she would run and ignore me, and not let me pet/hold her. It's been over a year since I got her and she's slowly getting more affectionate as time goes on.
