About Sequoia

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Little Sequoia is the devoted mother of the larger, fluffy Timber and is part of an extraordinary calico family. She recently visited the beauty parlor, so you may notice her sporting a shorter coat in some photos—it will grow back beautifully! Sequoia is fond of treats, enjoys a good play session, and gets along well with her family and extended kitty group. Sequoia hails from a remarkable feral cat colony that found shelter a few years ago. Some colony cats love playing with toys and respond well to gentle petting, while others are still learning to build trust. For Sequoia, an ideal adopter is someone with previous experience raising or gently socializing semi-feral cats and who looks forward to the rewarding journey of watching these stunning felines blossom. As Sequoia has always lived among other cats, she will thrive in a home with at least one companion cat from her colony family to ease the transition; she would be stressed without a feline friend.
