*** Pumpkin Spice is in a foster home. *** Pumpkin Spice #19973: black/white/orange calico, medium hair, spayed female, born approx. 10/16/22 Cats: maybe Dogs: unknown Children: tweens+ BACKGROUND: Pumpkin Spice was heavily pregnant when she was left at a high-kill shelter and was soon scheduled to be euthanized. We were able to pull her in time, though she couldn’t wait until she reached her foster home and gave birth to four kittens during her brief stay at the vet! PERSONALITY: Pumpkin Spice has been an amazing mama taking great care of her kittens. She is a sweet kitty with a cautious reserve, and she often chooses to quietly sit and watch the kitten chaos. She’ll retreat for a bit if a new person comes to visit, then once comfortable she is happy to come out and say hi, because she does like human company. Pumpkin Spice loves to be petted, and will sit just close enough that you can reach to give her fully body pets from her head to her tail... she also very much enjoys belly rubs. As with many mom-cats, she hasn’t been too playful yet; as the kittens mature and she doesn’t have to pour all of her resources into nursing and nurturing them, she is slowly becoming more playful, and we expect that her own sweet personality will continue to bloom as she adjusts to life beyond motherhood. COMPATIBILITY: As a protective mama, Pumpkin Spice has been a bit hissy toward other cats; once her kittens are gone we think she will be all right living with them. We haven’t seen her around dogs though feel she would not be comfortable with a bouncy or energetic canine. A quiet and routine-oriented home without younger or overly boisterous children would suit her best. Will this sweet mama become your cherished companion?
