About Renn

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. This sweet girl is Renn, a gentle calico who found herself in need of rescue after raising her newborn kittens beneath someone's house. Renn faced some challenges early on, overcoming medical issues like an abscess and mastitis with the help of an emergency vet and lots of TLC. While her babies went to another rescue for bottle feeding, Renn was given a chance at recovery and stability through fostering. Now healthy, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for feline leukemia/FIV, Renn is looking for an indoor home that offers calm and tranquility. You’ll find she is quiet and observant, happiest when she can lounge in her bed and keep an eye on the world around her. No need to worry about aggression—Renn is shy but never mean, and she has never tried to bite or scratch. She coexists easily with other cats but would prefer a household without noisy activity, as loud environments or young children may overwhelm her sensitive nature. Renn is seeking a patient adopter who will appreciate her quirks and give her time to flourish on her own terms. She is ready to reward gentle understanding with quiet companionship. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
