Seven year old Poppy is a pretty redhead orange tabby, with a friendly and curious personality
She greets everyone that comes to visit with calm head rubs after a sniff or two. Poppy was surrendered by a family who had small children with developed allergies. She is fairly independent but loves to follow her human to see what’s going on.
Poppy is very playful and full of energy followed by afternoon naps in the sun. She is not a lap cat (yet) but is a cuddler when lying next to you and likes being picked up and carried, in return you get a bunch of soft happy purrs for your effort. Her favorite toys are wand toys, especially with feathers. She puts a lot of energy into playtime, loves small mice toys she can throw into the air and catch. Like most cats the belly trap is real and a ‘no go’ zone.
Poppy is a foodie as she really loves to eat! She has great litterbox habits and is easy to get into a carrier and very quiet in a car.
Poppy is hoping to be a single cat but may be fine with a respectful dog. She would benefit from a Catio or a safe outdoor space as she is very adventurous and inquisitive.
Kids are not her thing, other cats? Not really. An adult home would be preferred where you get all her love and entertainment. Looking for a cat savvy adopter who can read her cues when she’s had enough petting, short sessions are key. With a little patience in the beginning, she will settle in and feel safe as she blossoms and becomes your number one. Give this nice girl a chance at a new beginning!
Poppy is being fostered in Carmel Valley.
All Golden Oldies cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, microchipped, FIV/FELV negative and have had a complete blood panel done.
