Catalina

Description

Birthday: January 1, 2025 Catalina is a sweet, energetic girl with a playful spirit who is learning that life can be so much more than simply surviving. Catalina came from a heartbreaking hoarding situation that was discovered after her owner passed away. More than 40 cats and kittens were left behind in a home that was quickly becoming unlivable and heavily infested with fleas. After such a difficult start, it's understandable that Catalina is still very skittish and unsure of people. She's going to need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time—but once she gives you her heart, you'll discover just how special she is. Catalina absolutely loves to be petted. Getting her to purr is the key to winning her over! Once you get those purrs started, she doesn't want the attention to stop. She may be nervous at first, but those happy purrs are a wonderful reminder of the sweet, affectionate cat hiding underneath her initial shyness. Catalina is also discovering the joys of being a playful cat. She's energetic, curious, and having fun learning what all those wonderful toys are for. She enjoys chasing after her feline friends and has plenty of energy to burn. One of her favorite activities is simply running laps around the room, because sometimes a girl just needs to zoom! And then there's wet food. Catalina LOVES wet food. In fact, if she thinks everyone else is getting some and she's being left out, she'll go absolutely ballistic to make sure you know about it! She has no trouble making her opinions known when something important—like dinner—is happening. Catalina does well with her cat friends and enjoys having them around for playtime and companionship. A feline friend may be especially helpful as she continues building confidence and learning that her new world is safe. Because Catalina is still very skittish and learning to trust, she needs a calm home without young children. She would do best with older, respectful children ages 13 and up who understand that she may need time to feel comfortable and will allow her to approach at her own pace. Catalina will need someone who is willing to be patient and let her progress at her own pace. She may not be the cat who runs up to greet you on day one, but earning her trust will be incredibly rewarding. Every purr, every request for pets, and every playful zoom around the room is a little glimpse of the wonderful cat she's becoming. Catalina has so much potential. She's just waiting for the right person to give her the time, patience, and love she needs to discover it.  Her adoption donation is $135 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, microchip, and spay.
