Beautiful, Loving, Reticent

Please welcome Penelope, a gorgeous lady looking for a cozy home to call her very own. Once you earn her trust, Penelope will speak her truth or, should we say, purr it! She loves to purr and is also a dedicated bread maker. Give her time, patience and love and she will share these lovely gifts with you and so much more!

Penelope is a cautious girl who doesn’t rush into things. It takes her a good while to warm up to new places and new people. But, give her a chance to acclimate and she will make progress. Every time there is even a small sign that she is increasingly becoming comfortable with you, your heart will feel a happy zing!

Penelope is very easy and low-energy. She doesn’t get in the way of your activities and spends most of her time lounging and looking pretty. But, she is definitely interested in giving and receiving affection.

Penelope's favorite place to hang out is in her foster's bed. Not quite ready for high intensity snuggling just yet, Penelope does like curling up near you and is not afraid to ask for pets. She has the cutest way of rubbing into your hand to get extra close when you pet her. She will meow a lot when she wants some loving and especially requests her true delight - neck scratches! When engaging in this activity with her, you'll truly see her sweet side emerge and sparkle.

There is truly something special about watching a shy cat come out of her shell, even if slowly at times. Knowing that you are providing a home where Penelope feels safe enough to let her full purrsonality shine is a reward in itself. Taking the time to understand her will also provide lots of opportunities for bonding as you each figure the other out.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
