We adopted Pearl 1 yr ago when she was 6 mo. I was dissapointed at first because she was not to be seen. Second day when we came back from work she was nowhere, well she was inside the arm of a sofa bed. It took us hours to take her out and ended up puttin two pillows to block the entrance to her cave. They are still there! LOL.
She would walk aroun and at the minimal noise she would run to hide, inside a closet, under the beds, you name it.
She changed with sometime, she is still shy but at night she woul jump to the bed to play, and at 3-4 am she would walk on my belly or my side looking for some petting. Funny, she owns the house now!

I stopped by today and the little kitty now spends most of her time upstairs, hoping for more food. She even sat on my lap for quite a while. So all is going extremely well now.
Seems her ambition is to become an obese kitty, judging by how much food she eats! Mom is not going to have to limit her rations!

Glad it worked out (it usually does with cats). Sometimes the least likely end up being the closest, or most entertaining.
Rush8888 is correct that cats (and dogs) are lactose intolerant. You don't have to buy special dog/cat milk, we just buy lactose free milk (the UHT kind) meant for people. Works out cheaper than the pet brands.
