About Polly Purrmanent Resident

Let’s be clear: Polly Purrmanent Resident isn’t looking for a new home, and neither is her companion Virginnia. Since March 2019, both have lived at the shelter, untouched by offers or efforts to tame them—and that’s perfectly fine. These two came to the shelter as part of a ragtag group abandoned behind the building, a casualty of neglect, inbreeding, and sheer bad luck. Ten cats arrived in waves, dumped with a suspect sob story, and left to figure things out together. Over time, some found homes, others found peace, but Polly and Virginnia stayed. Polly is the more approachable of the pair, emerging just enough to prove predictions wrong; her social side is subtle, but surprising. Traditional adoption isn’t on the table, though if a seasoned volunteer truly understands her quirks, the door isn’t entirely closed. Virginnia, on the other hand—think feline with a grudge—prefers the role of professional skeptic and critic. She’s fiercely independent, large in size and in attitude, and makes it very clear she’d rather stay exactly where she is. Polly and Virginnia are settled, respected, and woven into the culture of the shelter. Not every cat finds a home, but some, like these two, find belonging. Ready to meet your new best friend?
