Joss's story began in an Oceanside backyard where, as a kitten born to a feral mother, she survived thanks to the kindness of strangers. That same couple took her in, cared for her, and kept her for more than a decade, until a severe allergy in the household left them with no option but to seek a new home for her. It was a painful decision, and they emphasized how gentle and sweet Joss is, though she is timid and will need time to get comfortable. Once she feels safe, her loving nature shines through—she enjoys being petted and likes finding cozy spots to tuck herself away, but also likes sleeping on the bed with her people. At the Frosted Feline cattery, Joss was understandably rattled at first, hiding much of the time after losing her familiarity and security. She has since become more visible, venturing out and accepting affection from staff and volunteers. Joss is a beautiful senior cat, weighing about 10 lbs, with a history of a stable and loving home. She needs the same gentle patience now, and a quiet environment where she can slowly adjust and show her affectionate side. As an Aquarius, Joss is inclined to value her independence but forms unique bonds when given enough trust and kindness. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
