About Passion Fruit

Passion Fruit didn’t have an easy start. She was discovered outside with a broken leg after a hurricane swept through last September—just a little over four months old at the time, injured and alone. The fracture in her femur required surgery, and while she’s made a full physical recovery, the emotional scars linger. Passion Fruit is still quite shy and often keeps to herself. She enjoys gentle, slow pets and is especially fond of Churu lickable treats, which have helped win her trust bit by bit. What she needs now is a patient, understanding adopter who’s willing to give her the time and compassion she needs to open up. She’s still young at just two years old, so with the right home, she has every chance to bloom into a more confident, happy cat. If you have the patience and a gentle touch, Passion Fruit is waiting for someone with a big heart to give her a second chance. Click apply to start the adoption process.
