My story

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

Divot was living in a house with too many cats, having litter after litter. She was a great protector to all her kittens but now that they're grown, it's time for Divot to just be a cat. Sometimes she watches from a high vantage point like a shelf or a table or hangs out the periphery of the room. Either way, she likes to observe the household activity but doesn't necessarily want to be a part of it. She likes her pets with her meals especially in the morning. No body parts are off limits and she loves a good rub down. She has lived with cats and puppies so she probably wouldn't mind a little animal company but would also love to just sit in a sunny window, relax and be gorgeous.

Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully.

Are you looking to truly change the life of a homeless animal? The cats from this home have had a rough start and need a patient, loving family looking to meet them where they are and give them a new lease on life. With time and patience, it's possible these cats will build up the confidence they need to become a loving member of the family.

If you're ready to adopt within the next 24-48 hours and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways:

Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt.

**the below two methods are slower than visiting us**
