About PENNY. Needs special home

Penny is a young female Maine Coon mix tabby, about 2 years old. When she arrived, she was covered in burrs and tangled sticks, and extremely matted, necessitating a shave. Despite her past of abuse, she's a gentle soul who remains cautious in new environments. She was often seen trying to get into people's homes, only to be chased away. Initially, Penny would cower when approached, trying to hide from human hands, but she’s slowly learning that affection isn’t something to fear. She's now more accepting of love and companionship, though she still needs patience and kindness to help her thrive. Penny gets along well with both cats and dogs, making her a good choice for a multi-pet household. She's spayed, tested, up-to-date on vaccinations, and litter-trained. After all she has experienced, she deserves a chance to live a loving life. Will you be the one to help her blossom?
