About Porcupine

Porcupine is a sweet, shy kitten learning to trust humans. She's a bit nervous about accepting affection but has a few favorite things that help her feel more secure, especially wet food. Just mention dinner time, and she'll come trotting over with curiosity. As she continues to explore, Porcupine is discovering the joys of gentle scratches. When you give her a little scratch at the base of her tail, that tail shoots right up! When she finally feels safe, she rewards you with the loudest and sweetest purr of her whole litter. Porcupine needs a patient adopter who understands that winning her affection will take some time. While she may not be the kitten who jumps into your lap right away, watching her gain confidence and hearing those precious purrs will make every bit of patience worthwhile. Ideally, a home with a confident, friendly cat could be a great fit for her, helping Porcupine feel more secure. If you can let her set the pace, this little girl could become an incredibly special companion. Those moments when she chooses to trust you will be all the more meaningful now.
