About Melon Purrmanent Resident
Melon is a senior, blind domestic shorthair who manages to enjoy the world on her own terms. She spends her days lounging at the bottom of her favorite tower, where she feels safest away from the endless exuberance of the younger cats. Melon prefers gentle back and head scratches, but being picked up overwhelms her and she’d rather stay grounded. She is especially sensitive and needs a patient, understanding person who respects her preferences and routines. With time in a calm small apartment or a single-story home, Melon would slowly adapt, exploring at her own pace. Though she’s currently considered a Purrmanent resident, the right home could be part of her journey. If you feel drawn to Melon’s gentle bravery and want to be part of her story, reach out to learn about the Special Adoption Program. She’s a dignified, quiet soul who gets along with other cats and children, so long as boundaries are respected. Sweet Melon is seeking someone willing to give her the security and patience she deserves. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
