My name is Blazie (AKA Blaze) and I`ve had quite the adventure before coming to MaxFund. During my kittenhood in 2023, I frequented the backyard of a nice couple living in Sunnyside. They caught me as part of a local TNR project and found placement for me in another Denver shelter. The day of my intake, I managed to bust through a window screen on the 2nd floor of their house...and made myself super comfortable in their backyard once more! While I loved all the belly pets and head scritches and ALL THE TREATS, I got smart to their cat traps and it took another 8mo of `convincing` (I call it `getting to know each other`!) for them to easily pick me up and bring me into their home in July 2024.
Even the first time I was caught, I knew I loved people; it took me a few weeks to understand `indoor cat` speak. It was particularly helpful for me that there were already four resident cats in the house I could learn from. I`m pretty sure that I would love to be in the company of another cat similar in age to myself, someone who is chill and laid back, but loves an energizing game of tag! I love following my former foster parents around the house during their routines. What can I say... Like Ariel, `I want to be where the people are.` I`m not completely fluent in `indoor cat` just yet, but I`m a fast learner who will thrive in an environment where I can get a lot of attention and patience. Sometimes, I may gently nibble on your hand if I want more pets and attention. Head scritches in certain spots cause me to get a bit sleepy and slightly drooly; it`s a new kind of happy place that I recently learned about myself! I will never say no to a sunny windowsill where I can `ekekekekekeke` at all the birds.
Did I mention I love people? The very first time I was allowed full access to my foster parents` house, I slept in their bed in between both of them...and proceeded to do so every night until there was space for me here at MaxFund. Don`t you need a bit of additional cozy warmth in bed? I know I do. We are on the brink of cuffing season, but I`m keen on finding someone for all seasons to come. Let me know if that person is you!
