About Prentice

Start your journey together! Apply now. Meet Prentice! Prentice, along with Penelope and JJ, was abandoned in the countryside and learned to survive outdoors before finally finding the comforts of a loving foster home. Now, Prentice appreciates warm beds and plenty of cuddles. These kitties thrive best in a semi-quiet household without young children, as they can be easily startled, but have adjusted well to living with a preteen, cats, and dogs after an initial period of settling in. An ideal adopter would be patient and understanding, willing to give Prentice time to acclimate at her own pace. She loves climbing her cat tree and curling up in soft spots, making her a gentle and endearing companion. All three cats have been spayed, tested negative for FIV and FELV, vaccinated, and microchipped. Prentice is ready for a new chapter in a caring, indoor-only home where she will never have to fend for herself again. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
