I have a sketchy story. I have no idea what my life was before.....
But this I can share....I was picked up by a local ACO and brought to their shelter...turns out I had a family as I was already spayed. I stayed at the shelter but no one came looking for me or had any interest in adopting me. I developed a chip on my shoulders and I did not trust any human. I will hiss, extend my paw with claws out ready to give you a tattoo of scratch marks. It did not look too good at the shelter for me.
The shelter transferred me to CRI and here I sit at the Pet Adoption Center, Greenbrier PetSmart store. I arrived 2 August 2023.
I do need a special person with a cat behavior background who can help me.
One person here is working with me since I arrived. Now, I will enter a kennel on my own so I can get out of my cage. I watch the other kittens at play...and yes I will hiss at them from inside the kennel. They must think it is a game as they keep coming back. So it is a game! I am getting better - watching more, hissing less. In my kennel, I even have moved my locations from a cat tree to the floor level. But this took time.
I am still a work in progress, so if you are reading this, can you foster me? Give me my own room, no other cats or dogs or kids around. Give me time, more room to explore, a window would be grand. I will do my best to improve.
I really do no know what will become of me.
I do respond to Calming sprays and treats. I like to play with wand toys. I LOVE temptation treats.
Come and visit me on the weekends during playtime at the Chesapeake PetSmart Store, Pet Adoption Center on Greenbrier Parkway:
Saturday, 1100 - 1700
Sunday, 1200 - 1630
Plus, you can always visit me any time the store is open Monday - Friday and call the contact number on my cage card to meet me.
Adoption fee is cash or check only
