Gender: Spayed Female
History:
Pumpkin is with PAW for the second time. We try our very best to fulfill our promise to make rescued cats’ lives better for the rest of their lives but sometimes that takes more than one try. The first time Pumpkin was in the PAW system was in 2003 when she came to us in the late stages of a pregnancy, likely her first. After her kittens were adopted, the person who fostered Pumpkin decided she would like to keep her. Pumpkin lived in that home for six years along with another little cat named Keetka. Both cats were surrendered because their person moved into subsidized housing which does not allow pets. Although Keetka was not a PAW cat originally, we agreed to take him in too because the only other option for him was the animal shelter. Having to make room for a returned cat is always disappointing for a rescue group.
Personality:
No faults for this pretty little girl! She is sweet, gentle and playful. She is currently in a foster home with several other cats; no problems sticking up for herself there and even does a little bossing around herself (one of her foster brothers). Soon after she was returned to PAW, Pumpkin underwent a full dental. She had several teeth that needed attention. She recovered very well. Where we once thought she was a very tiny cat, we now know she was thin because she couldn't eat very well. She has now filled out to an ideal weight. She loves to curl up beside you or on you. One of her favourite positions is to be held up high on your chest, her front legs draped over one shoulder. It gets a little tricky when she’s in this position while you’re on the computer; but as most cat lovers know, finding your way around a keyboard with one hand is a learned skill! Pumpkin likes to have places to explore. She asks to go into places that are generally no-cat zones in her foster home, but it's tough to resist this little darling. Pumpkin needs love (not difficult with this one), commitment and place on her person’s bed. We would be happy to place Pumpkin in your home on a trial adoption.
