Megan

Megan’s story begins with PAW when its adoption centre, the Cat Compassion Centre, was still open. One morning in the early summer of 2008, Megan and another cat, Marie, were found at the doorway, literally crammed inside a rubber storage container with the lid taped on, a few holes punched in it for air. Cats are highly sensitive little creatures and we cannot begin to imagine what the experience of sitting in a hot container with another cat, possibly for several hours, was like for either of them. There was no accompanying information, not even their names. At their vet check, it was determined they were healthy, had been previously spayed and estimated to be between three and five years of age. A few weeks after settling in nicely at the Compassion Centre, the centre closed. Megan then went to live in a foster home along with Marie. Both were subsequently adopted by the foster person but in May, 2010, Megan was returned to PAW and a couple of months later, Marie was also returned.

Personality:

Megan is very lady-like and from time to time, you will be invited to gently rub her tummy. She is a little cat that responds very well to gentle and respectful touching. She is intelligent and intuitive. She knows her name and will answer when called. She likes to know where her person is and is very reassured when she hears your voice. She offers an instant purr as a sign of her joy at seeing you. She particularly enjoys cuddling up closely with her foster mom and if the teenaged son is sitting on the floor, Megan is not shy about inviting herself onto his lap either. Megan loves people in general and is always willing to make new friends. She enjoys having her hair done (aka be brushed) which, incidentally, is a great way to bond with your new cat. Megan sleeps on the bed at night but prefers to watch over things from the foot of the bed. She is very specific about her preference for clumping clay litter. She and Marie are very comfortable with each other and seem to enjoy a typical sibling relationship -- that is, they enjoy eachother's company most of the time.
