Juniper is searching for a safe, patient home after surviving the streets of St Croix, where she endured a severe leg injury that ultimately required amputation. She’s about a year old and likely raised kittens before finding help. Having faced so much, she’s cautious and slow to trust, but lately she’s started to soften—greeting familiar faces for gentle pets and gradually showing affection. Dogs frighten her, so she needs a dog-free household with a calm atmosphere. Juniper enjoys soft scratches and cozy hiding spots, but she’ll need time—possibly a month or more—to settle in and feel comfortable on her terms. Adopters must let her come to them, understand her boundaries, and offer her the peace she’s never had. Give this resilient, short-haired black beauty a fresh start in Christiansted, VI.
