Rescue Story:
I was abandoned at a rental house with my newborn baby. Sadly my baby passed away a few days while in care, fading kitten syndrome is a horrible thing but I am glad my baby didn't suffer. I am now ready to find my forever home now that I am spayed. I can't wait to find my true forever home.
Date of Birth: June 2023 (est)
Energy Level: High

Good with Dogs? Unknown
Never met one, so not sure.
Good with Cats? Very specific cat(s) only
I would love to be the only cat as I like having my own space, but if the other cat basically just leaves me be we may be able to coexist just fine.
Good with Kids? Maybe
Older kids only who will respect my space or no kids.
Critter Twitter:
I am one brave, confident girl who, would be an excellent adventure cat. I am friendly to all I meet but just make sure that they understand my cues and only pet the back of my head. I respond to being called, probably better than most dogs! I love human attention and being petted. But I also really love my play time. I love spring toys and I love wand toys. Be sure to set some time aside to play with me to burn off my energy, I am still a young cat after all. Though I may not be a lap cat, I love to follow you around the house and I am always in the room you are in. When I want attention I will let you know by going over and nudging your fingers while purring. Don't worry, I know your busy "working" so when I am content I will wander off to survey my kingdom and ensure all is well. #doratheexlpora #adventurecat
About my Behaviour:
Ok folks I have some requests.
1. I hate being brushed so a soft brush like a kong brush may be fine. Treat bribes are appreciated.
2. I can get overstimulated when being petted so watch my cues, if my tail is swishing or ears to the side, stop petting. Also only pet the back of my head or back, no belly or sides. As I get older I may get less overstimulated, and playing me out frequently a a day will help as well.
3. I would be thrilled to be any only cat but, I may be fine with one other cat who is happy to let me do my own thing. I do tend to resource guard and I should be fed and given treats separately. Lots of resources like cat trees and litter boxes would make me happy to.
How’s my Health?
I am fully vetted. I should have at least one meal of wet food a day (preferably two) to help with hydration. I actually love wet food! Free feeding is not recommended as I was abandoned and as such will overeat. But leaving a tiny bit out (if I am an only cat) while you are away at work is fine. I may be younger than a year old, or I just have a permanent kitten face.
