About Winnie

Winnie is a quiet, soft-furred tortoiseshell with a gentle presence. She landed at the rescue after being found at a garbage dump; her history has left her timid at first, but she's all heart once she relaxes. Winnie craves stability and a patient person who doesn't mind letting her move at her own pace. Treats bring her closer, and with time she becomes affectionate, enjoying gentle pets and close company. Winnie's playful side shows up when she's comfortable, and she's motivated by snacks. She gets along well with other polite cats, making her a good fit for multi-cat households that are calm and relaxed. Her ideal home is quiet, stable, and peaceful—one that appreciates the reward of helping a shy youngster come into her own. Winnie was born on August 4, making her a Leo, and like most Leos, she has a warm spirit waiting to be discovered. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
