About Poppy
Poppy is about a year and a half old and has come such a long way from her TNR days. She's shy at first and needs a gentle, patient home, but her sweet side shines through quickly—especially if food is involved. When the treat bag rustles, she’ll come barreling in, laser-focused on being first in line. Chasing tennis balls, playing with the laser pointer, and curling up in front of the TV are her favorite pastimes. Petite but plucky, Poppy holds her own with her fellow foster cats and would likely do well in a gentle multi-cat home or as a spoiled only cat. She doesn’t care to be picked up, but she lets you know when it’s petting time and adores being brushed. Her quirky habit of dunking her entire left paw in the water dish is oddly endearing—just opt for a steady bowl. A professional biscuit maker, she loves napping on a fleece throw and charms with her pink nose and toe beans. Poppy responds to nicknames like Popples and Poppi-kins. She hasn't spent time with dogs or children, so a calm home suits her best. Give this shy, playful girl some patience and treats, and she’ll become a loving, devoted companion.
