About Poppy

Meet Poppy, a lovely female cat who’s around 1 year old. She came to us as a stray with her six kittens, all of whom have found their forever homes. Now it's her turn! Poppy is feeling overwhelmed in the hustle and bustle of the shelter. She’s still quite fearful and is not ready for hands-on affection, so we’re letting her take her time to adjust. Ideally, we’re seeking a quiet home—whether foster or permanent—where she can finally feel safe and relax. Poppy has experienced a lot and simply needs a calm environment to start her journey to comfort and companionship. We will keep you updated on her progress as she settles in. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
