Penny is remarkable, with her lush, long calico fur and a heritage that’s part Persian, part Egyptian Mau—known as a Shirizi Mau. She’s truly loving but not clingy; Penny likes gentle affection, and she’ll lean in for soft pets, but she prefers her independence and would rather not be carried around. She thrives with someone who understands her need for both closeness and personal space. She bonds deeply with her people, offering warmth and devotion—but always on her own graceful terms. Penny’s perfect for a calm, quiet home that values affection without the need for excessive handling. Her expressive eyes and peaceful nature make her a wonderful, easygoing companion for those who appreciate a gentle soul. Potential adopters must have prior Persian cat experience to ensure Penny receives the care and grooming these cats need. The rescue matches applicants to the right cat, not just by who applies first. Penny is sterilized, fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, and microchipped, and all adoptions include a travel crate. Start your journey together! Apply now.
