About Porkchop

Meet Porkchop, also known as “Porky.” This petite lady, around five years old, has a sweet and gentle personality. She once lived feral and has a notable ear tip from her time in a TNR program. Luckily, her caregiver saw her potential and brought her indoors, where she transformed into a trusting companion who enjoys indoor life. While a bit timid at first, Porky warms up quickly and becomes affectionate, although she’s not a lap cat. Instead, she loves curling up beside you and receiving gentle pets. You'll often find her watching birds from the window, quietly observing her surroundings. With a slow introduction, she gets along well with other cats. Porky thrives in a calm home without young children or too much chaos. Give her time to settle in, and you'll uncover just how sweet she can be. Her name, “Pork Chop,” comes from her big appetite in her outdoor days, but now she’s more interested in cozy spots and sunny windows. This little lady is ready for her forever family and would do well in our foster to adopt program. Interested in bringing her home? Reach out for more details!
