About Persephone Dodd

Persephone Dodd is proof that rescued cats don’t forget their scrappy roots, but settle in fast once they know they're safe. Plucked off the Maryland streets, she’s since made herself comfortable—and made it clear she runs the place now. Persephone is still charged with young cat energy: she sprints from room to room, climbs anything that will hold her, tackles and chases her toys, and thinks plastic coils rank among the world’s greatest treasures. She gets along well with other cats after a proper introduction, though she may hold back at first with new four-legged friends. With humans, it’s similar: Persephone is reserved until trust builds. Once you’re in her inner circle, she’ll crawl over your lap or even your computer to demand affection. She’ll start purring the instant someone touches her. Her favorite downtime? Curling up on the couch to recharge, wrapped snug in a warm blanket—but she’ll let you know she doesn’t like to be picked up if she’s still in adventure mode. Persephone is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLv. Born 9-23-2024, she's a Libra: fair-minded, a little mysterious, and keen on harmony.
