PAW --> Available Adult Cats -->  "Keelin"


  

Name: Keelin
Breed: DSH Golden Brown Tabby
Age: Born Approx. Sept. 2004
Gender: Spayed Female.

History: 
As near as we have been able to deduce, Keelin is Thumbelina's daughter and sister 
to Romie.  Please read Thumbelina's bio for the story on how this cat family came 
to be at the Compassion Centre.  The renters in whose yard they lived told us that 
Keelin had been a mother herself.  When she first came to the centre, she was put 
in one of the isolation rooms and being confined like that, she let herself be 
touched quite abit.  However, she couldn't stay in there forever and once she got 
her freedom to be anywhere in the centre, it became a little tougher to lay hands 
on her.  This whole family loved the idea of being on the top level (above the 
isolation rooms) where they could be in charge of how much interaction they had 
with people.


Personality: 
However, like her other family members, Keelin now spends more and more time 
"downstairs".  She is quite adept at enjoying herself and loves the play sessions 
that Katrina (the centre caregiver) arranges for her.  She also plays with her 
brother, Romie, and spends a lot of time with her mom.  Keelin, with absolute 
certainty, would become tame at a much faster rate if she were in a family home.  
Once-feral cats make truly wonderful pets.  They have the ability to bond very 
deeply with their person.  And, like the rest of her family, Keelin is very good 
with other cats.  We think this family excels in cat-relationships because they 
have always lived in a group and have never experienced a solitary life.  That 
and good genetics which Keelin has in spades!
