About Poppi

Poppi lost everything familiar when her person died, leaving her to fend for herself in a silent, empty house for months with only quick caretaker visits for food and water. During this time, she suffered pyometra, survived emergency surgery, and arrived at her new rescue timid, withdrawn, and deeply impacted by loss. Poppi usually tucks herself away in blankets, watching the world from a distance and trying not to be noticed. She’s not quick to trust or approach, but underneath her fear is a sensitive, gentle spirit still hoping for safety and belonging. Given patience and a calm environment, Poppi has the potential to quietly, steadily bond with the right adopter—someone who understands cats with trauma and is willing to offer her time and kindness without pushing. She is not the bold cat demanding attention, but the one who will reveal her affection slowly as she starts to feel secure. Her adopter will need to respect her pace and give her the solid sense of safety she’s gone so long without. Poppi is spayed, up to date on vaccines, house trained, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV and FELV. All she needs now is a home understanding enough to see the beauty in her quiet resilience. Make her next chapter a happy one. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
