About Cooper

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Cooper is a beautiful young cat who was recently rescued from a tough outdoor life near a feral colony. At around 8 months old, she started out shy due to her limited experience with people, but she has blossomed into a real sweetie in her foster home. Foster homes truly make a difference, helping kitties like Cooper come out of their shell and learn to trust. Cooper would thrive in a home with her sister Codi or with another friendly cat or kitten. She loves to cuddle and spend time with other cats, especially her foster sister Lilo, who is also looking for a family—if Lilo finds a cozy spot to nap, you’ll find Cooper right next to her. While Cooper enjoys interactive play with other cats constantly, she doesn’t usually initiate playtime with people, but she’s always ready to join in when toys come out. This gentle girl would do best in a home with children over 16 or in an adult-only home, where her affectionate, social personality can shine. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
