Hi… I’m Flash! Yes, I know what you’re thinking… I don’t seem very “flashy,” do I? I’m more of a quiet, gentle sparkle. But trust me… once you get to know me, I’ll light up your world in the softest, sweetest way. I’ve been at the sanctuary for about 4 years now. I came from a feral colony in North Branch, Minnesota, where cats like me weren’t wanted anymore… in fact, our colony was going to be “disposed of.” Pretty scary stuff. But thankfully, I was rescued, and now I’m safe, loved, and waiting for something I’ve never had before… a home of my very own. When I first got here, I was terrified. People? No thank you. I didn’t trust anyone, and honestly… it took a long time, lots of patience, love, and (most importantly) food to convince me that humans might not be so bad after all. Now? I’ve come a long way. I may still be a little shy at first, but once I know you, I love being petted. I’ll even sit up all perched and proper, just waiting for you to notice me and give me some gentle strokes. My fur? Oh… it’s like velvet. Seriously. I’m basically a tiny, plush gray cloud with the cutest little white patch on my chest. I live for visiting hours. I wait and watch and hope someone comes in with those magical lickable treats (my absolute favorite… I will follow you anywhere for them). And if I really like you? I might even gather up my courage and step into your lap for a moment. Just… don’t rush me. I like to take things slow. Sunny spots are my happy place. Give me a warm patch of sunshine and I’m in heaven. I also need to tell you something important… I do best with other cats. They make me feel safe and help me be my brave little self, so I’m looking for a home with a feline friend. Oh! And I recently had all my teeth removed during a dental. I know, I know… sounds dramatic, right? But guess what? I still happily crunch away on treats like nothing ever happened. I’m tough like that. I am considered a special needs kitty because I’m FIV positive… but please don’t let that scare you. I can live a happy, peaceful life (even with other cats!), and I’d be happy to tell you more about it when you come meet me. I promise… I am worth the wait. The kind of love I give is quiet, gentle, and so very special. You can come visit me every day from 1–5pm. I’ll be the small gray girl soaking up the sun… and maybe, just maybe, waiting for you. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV positive, FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations: distemper, rabies, and FeLV. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing. If you are interested in adopting Flash, please come visit… we are open daily from 1-5pm (including holidays)… we want to meet you in person!
