Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello there! My name is Penguin, and I'm an ultra-sweet, affectionate, easy-going, playful black and white tuxedo DSH gal with gigantic celadon green eyes who was born in January 2013. I'm beautifully marked in that I have an adorable white dot on my chin as well as a white bib, tummy, mittens, and boots. Do you think I look like a penguin?
Every morning when my foster meowmy wakes up, I give her little nose kisses when she scratches and rubs me. I've got a calm, quiet disposition and just love to make biscuits on something soft. (See the attached video.) Plus I have perfect scratching-post manners and love to "work out" on my scratcher.
My favorite spot is in the laps of my humans, and I absolutely adore being gently brushed or scratched around my ears! If those options aren't available, I'm content to nap close by my human. I can also entertain myself by interactively watching YouTube flitting-bird videos or enthusiastically bunny-kicking my toys.
I get along great with the other cats in my foster home, but I haven't been around dogs. I'd probably be most comfortable in a home with only older, well-behaved children and not younger children.
As perfect as I am, I do have one thing that makes me a "special needs" kitty: I had crystals in my urine, so I need to be on prescription urinary food for the rest of my life. This is just to manage the risk of future crystal episodes, and it's certainly a lot safer and cheaper than having surgery to remove any stones or urethral blockages.
I was rescued from an apartment complex parking lot, where I had been living paw-to-mouth until my future foster meowmy rescued me and brought me inside to safety. The vet found that I'd already been spayed, so I was obviously someone's pet who got separated from or was abandoned by my previous family. I was so glad when I kissed my dumpster-diving days good-bye!
Now that the hardscrabble life is behind me, I'm ready for a home of my very own. Won't you arrange to meet me today so I can mesmerize you with my big saucer eyes and make biscuits in YOUR lap? We can start writing the new chapter in our lives together.
