About Taylor

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Bella and her sister, Taylor, were once skittish stray kittens and, despite time in foster care, they have retained their shy personalities. Taylor, in particular, has grown to enjoy gentle attention and especially loves chin scratchies. While she will allow gentle petting, she isn’t fond of being picked up and still gets nervous around loud noises. Her bond with her sister is important to her comfort, so adopting them together or having another friendly kitty in the home would be beneficial. Taylor typically prefers the safety of her quiet space, making a calm home ideal for her. Both sisters will need patience and time as they gradually transition into typical house cats, and may always have preferences for cuddling on their own terms. The perfect home for Taylor and her sister will understand their need for patience, warmth, and understanding to help them blossom at their own pace. Fun fact: With a birthday of April 4, Taylor is an Aries, meaning she might surprise you with little bursts of courage and curiosity as she gains confidence. We are a foster-home-based rescue in Clarksville, TN, and all of our cats are in private foster homes throughout the area. An adoption application is required to meet our kitties. Once your application is reviewed and approved, we will provide the information to schedule a meet and greet with their foster family. Our team is 100% volunteer-run and works to process applications within 24-72 hours—thank you for your patience! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
