Peaches is a beautiful 12-year old female kitty who was surrendered by her family on July 7, 2024 because of landlord/housing issues.
Peaches has an orange-and-white longhaired coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with copper-colored eyes, a pink nose, and long white whiskers.
Her coat was very matted/pelted when she entered our shelter since her previous owner reported that Peaches does not like to be groomed. Our kennel techs and a local groomer have done preliminary grooming but Peaches will likely need to be sedated and groomed/shaved down by a veterinarian to make her more comfortable.
Peaches is selective about whom she likes, and we get that 'age has its privileges). Peaches would not be good with children. Her family indicated, however, that she was good with other animals and had lived with dogs as well as cats.
Peaches is afraid of vacuum cleaners and strangers, and she hides in order to escape her fears.
Peaches has been kept exclusively indoors, so that would be a requirement for her new home as well.
Peaches is a big girl who weighs approximately 13-14 lbs. She has already been spayed and is front-paw declawed.
Her owner summarized Peaches in this way: "Peaches is her own boss and is a one-person cat. She accepts attention/affection on her terms and only when she gets used to you. Peaches really amuses herself and isn't into favorite toys or other activities. She prefers to take long leisurely cat naps instead of being engaged in playing."
UPDATE: Peaches went home with a foster family on September 16, 2024 who offered her the freedom of a temporary home until she finds a forever home. Peaches is still available for adoption with an approved HSOV adoption application.
