About Vicky

Vicky spent her early years outdoors, a stray cat in New Richmond who relied on the kindness of neighbors for food and shelter. When her winter refuge, a makeshift shed hideaway, was about to be closed off, a concerned resident sounded the alarm—someone had to step in. That’s how Vicky finally found herself off the streets, safe and warm, but still shy and wary of people. Since coming indoors, she’s started to make progress, slowly learning what it’s like to be safe. Vicky needs a patient adopter willing to invest time and gentle encouragement; she isn’t one to demand attention, but you can see in her eyes that she’s quietly hoping for someone to take a chance on her. She gets along well with other cats, easing into their company with patience. With trust and time, she could relax into a truly loving companion. For adopters willing to move at her pace, she offers the reward of hard-earned affection. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
