Poppy Cat Domestic Short Hair Mix Richardson, TX

Poppy Cat came to us very pregnant right before this year's winter storm. She knew she needed to find a place indoors to deliver her kittens and made several appeals to one of our volunteers until we found her a foster and a safe place to start her little family. She gave birth to four beautiful kittens: Alder, Lilac, Posie and Willow, raising them until they were ready to find their own homes. When her kittens went to a different foster home to learn how to be proper little cats, Poppy Cat set about taking the no-more-kittens pledge and is finally ready to find her forever home.

She is very curious about everything and frequently follows her foster parent around the house to ensure she doesn't get into trouble. She loves playing with toys and other cats but prefers to initiate snuggle times with humans on her schedule. She's very sweet and loving and is still learning who she is as an indoor cat. She will thrive in a relaxed, no-pressure home that patiently and lovingly accepts her for who she is: a fabulous cat.

Poppy cat is up-to-date on vaccinations and is spayed and microchipped. She is litter-box trained and uses cat trees and scratching posts appropriately.If you are reading this, we are still accepting applications on this pet. Please read the Adoption Process steps below.
