My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oh hi there! My name is Snokums. You can pronounce it "Shnookums". I'm not even two years old yet but boy, the life I've had so far! But I'll get to that in a bit. For now, I have to tell you that I'm a very shy girl. I'm still getting used to being around people. It's taken me a few months to get used to the volunteers at the adoption centre, but now that I see that they only want what's best for me, I'm learning to trust them more. I've discovered toys! Boy are they ever fun! Who knew? I really like the wand toys - you know the ones that have fun things hanging from them? Oh, and those furry mice things are SO much fun too. I'm so glad the volunteers have been patient with me and gave me my space to get used to being here. I'm even starting to venture out on my own to play. I think they forgive me now if I may have accidentally given them a swat or two in the past. You know what else I love? CATNIP! It's the best thing ever. Do you have any treats? LOVE 'EM!! Did I mention wet food yet? No? Ok - well just so you know, I love my wet food too. You can say I'm a good eater. I like the friendly, calm cats at the adoption centre. I would do best with a friendly cat buddy that doesn't want to wrestle with me, but just hang out - or, a little kitten to hang out with would be neat! I learned a lot by watching the other cats in the adoption centre, so I think it would help me to adjust to my new home faster having a cat friend.

So my story is this - I was living in a backyard colony. See my ear tip? I was TNR'd. Do you know that that means? The people thought I was feral, so I was spayed, had my ear tipped and released back into the colony outside. But the lady who fed me outside thought that I was just very shy and not feral, so she brought me to the rescue where I've been getting used to the inside life and learning to trust people ever since. I was brought inside with my brother, but he wasn't nearly as shy as me and he already found his forever home. I have to say, the inside life is MUCH better than the outside life.

I'm still very shy and my new family needs to know that. But I have made great progress in the adoption centre that I know I'm ready to find my own forever home. I've been here for a long time now and it's time to move on, know what I mean? So if you can just give me a chance and the time and space to settle in, I know I'll make a great companion.
