My story

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

Gwen and Wednesday are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.



- Sweet, laid back and inquisitive kitty who enjoys sitting in your lap



- Likes being petted on her head and back



- When feeling playful likes toy balls



- Not a fan of being touched on her belly and being picked up too much



- Has done well with dogs and other cats



- Has done well with kids



- We suspect this cat has allergies (more info at ARL)



This cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen good progress here at the ARL, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!



All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
