Story
Meet Patch! This owner surrender is so pretty that pictures don't do her justice! Her intense coloration plus her long coat are a deadly combo - not an everyday sight at all. Patches joined the FFAA family due to some difficult family circumstances - she is not comfortable around toddlers, and due to the precarious nature of her surrender's young child's health, a tough decision had to be made. If you are looking for a cat who is more like a roommate, Patches may be your gal! Full of personality in spades, this model-esque feline knows she's royalty. Her previous home described her as an seasoned couch potato who is quiet but not affectionate. She's not a party-cat - crowds make her nervous. Within her close circle, she's comfy with both men and women. She's been an inside cat for all 6 years of her life, and that's how she will stay, but do know that within the walls of her home she's a good mouser. Patches is a girl with hobbies and opinions. She can take some time to settle in, just like most cats (and the transition to a shelter environment has absolutely rattled her, so please take with a grain of salt her behavior while at our facility). Her favorite hobbies are a) sleeping, b) vibing, c) chilling, and d) stealing allllll the sunlight to soak up! Her devoted first family described quirks such as: attacking the feet of her owners if she becomes hungry during the night, VERY clear bids for attention by way of a well-aimed swat, and potentially lacking manners while she plays. However, to balance all this sass out, she was described as loving attention and pets and being a fantastic lap cat. After her appearance grabs your attention, don't be put off by the shy and prickly exterior she might show. Patches is a cat that was worshipped and catered to since infancy; her difficult adjusting to losing her home and everything familiar is not just understandable but expected. We are hopeful that someone will take a chance on her and give her the time and space she needs to adjust and bloom - and soon; cats are sensitive to stress, and there is no place more overwhelming than a shelter environment (busy, loud, sooo many smells).If you have any questions about Patches, send adopt.ffaa@gmail.com a message, call the facility at (417) 592-2512, or just drop in during our open hours!
