Vivian came to the rescue after months of fending for herself outdoors, along with her three kittens. She arrived looking a bit rough, but with care, Vivian and her little family quickly bounced back. She’s a classic case of a cat who starts out shy, but rewards patience; her trust grows faster than you’d expect, and she’s approachable and comfortable with gentle attention. Vivian’s a devoted mother, not only raising her own kittens but also stepping in as a gentle surrogate to others in need. You’ll often spot her playing, either solo or with other cats and kittens in her room. Her short fur has a gray-blue-silver sheen that stands out, and she’s developed a close bond with her daughter Hattie—the hope is they find a new home together. Vivian gets along well with other cats, mostly ignores dogs, and does best in homes with older children who respect her boundaries (she prefers to avoid the chaos of toddlers). She’s patient, independent, and keeps a calm presence, waiting for a person who will give her time to settle in. Fun fact: Vivian is a Leo, born August 1st, and might just have a little lion’s courage hiding behind her shyness. Vivian is waiting in New Richmond, WI for someone who’ll recognize the quiet gem she’s becoming. Click apply to start the adoption process.
