My personality

My story

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

Our last remaining SCAC fall 2021 cat disaster survivor needs a home!

Amanda is a cat person's cat. She is her own girl, it's her world, we are living in it. Know that and chin snuggles and purrs are yours (on Amanda's schedule of course). As are most divas, she is beautiful.

Amanda came to us among the kitties staff handed out of the facility's full rooms of cats severely infected with upper respiratory as fast as they could in an attempt to save as many animals as possible. It was chaos and a terrible time. Amanda's saving grace was that once we finally got records and could decipher one that was hers, she had been vaccinated. Her case was mild and she responded well to proper treatment. Let us not forget, for the fear those times ever be repeated. Amanda remembers!

Amanda was recently placed but returned. It was a short placement; what we tried to tell the adopter is that it takes time, ultimately you and Amanda will sync up and know each other well.

Amanda's foster caregivers love her, have been caring for her and handling her for months, months that have often brought the joy of plenty of chin snuggles and purrs. Generally speaking, it is believed Amanda does best as the only animal in the home. There is a chance, with the right cat person, she will coexist if there is ample room in the home for everyone to have their own significant space. We need to find someone with a deep appreciation for cats, who can delight in this girl's feline ways and personality.
