Meet Poppy! Poppy arrived at the shelter as a stray at the start of April and recently celebrated her first birthday. She has a little sass and a whole lot of heart, but she needs someone who understands that trust takes time. At first, Poppy is quiet and reserved—she still startles easily and may retreat until she feels safe. Give her that patience, though, and she warms up into a gentle, loving companion. She’ll lean in for pets and curl beside you once she decides you’re trustworthy, rewarding your patience with affectionate moments that feel earned. Staff recommends Poppy for families with children old enough to respect her need for space and gentleness. She shares her current shelter space with another young cat, and does well with feline friends. If you’re looking for a cat that will form a genuine bond, meet Poppy at the shelter in Myerstown, PA. Your new best friend is just one click away.
