Story

Yinny is a sweet 3 year old tuxedo girl that needs to be rehomed because my living situation changed and she does not get along with the other cat that I now live with. She was rescued from a neglect situation, so she tends to want a lot of attention and pets and would do best with someone who is home a lot. She tends to be skittish/defensive with other animals, so she would do best in a one pet household. She is extremely gentle and has never scratched or bit me in the year that I've had her, although she can be a little vocal when she wants attention. If you are interested in a cuddly lap cat, this is the girl for you.

Petra Domestic Shorthair Female, 1 yr 1 mo Bolton, CT

Story

Petra is a young female tabby cat estimated to be around 1 year old.  A little bit of her background...she was living outside when she was rescued. It turns out that she was pregnant but, sadly both her kittens passed away and we had to do an emergency spay to save Petra's life. Thankfully we got her to the vet in time and she made a full recovery!  Petra is initially shy with new people, but once you gain her trust, the first thing she will do is rub over and present you her belly.  While with most cats this is a trap, Petra really does love belly rubs! She would be the greatest companion as all she wants is to be around people. Petra is currently sharing space with other cats and is doing ok, however we think she would rather either be a solo cat or in a home with a very laid back cat who doesn't get in the way of her getting the attention she desires.  Cats are negative for FelV/FIV, receive age-appropriate vaccines and deworming, are spayed/neutered and are microchipped (free lifetime registration with adoption).All of our pets go home with a "Go Home Goody Bag" that includes a starter supply of food, treats, toys, and a voucher for a free month of pet insurance from Trupanion.Location: Bolton, CTAdoption Fee: 250##1993300##
