About Flora

Flora is a long-haired calico with a striking coat—mostly white with a classic calico tail and bright green eyes. Two years old, she’s shaping into a quiet, gentle soul after a rough start with a previous owner who neglected both her body and spirit. Kitty Connection stepped in and gave Flora the time and care she needed: her muscle tone and coat have improved, but old habits linger. Flora still feels safest tucked under a blanket or a desk, and though she’ll dart away at first, she circles back for pets and nose nuzzles once she feels secure. Flora has a good appetite and is gaining weight. Living with other cats is a work in progress—she tolerates calm companions but isn’t fond of the housemate who won’t leave her alone. She’s sharing her room with a kitten and seems curious and even a bit braver in his company. Flora is looking for someone patient, quiet, and content with a low-key companion. An adult home suits her best, ideally with another mellow cat, but children or dogs are not a match for her. If you have the time to let Flora blossom at her own pace, she’s ready to meet you.
