About Penelope

Meet Penelope and Hotch! These two bonded pals are a delightful pair of detectives ready to uncover all the love in your home. Rescued from a situation where their previous owner could no longer care for them, Penelope and Hotch are friendly, playful, and eager to find their forever family. Penelope shines as the social butterfly, often cozying up and sleeping close to her human. Her affectionate nature pairs well with Hotch, who prefers a more laid-back approach, often found at the foot of the bed. Both are attentive companions, keeping an eye on you and often playfully getting underfoot to remind you of their playtime and snack schedule. They thrive in environments with climbing structures and cat trees, as these enrich their living space and meet their natural instincts. While they love each other deeply, they don’t have experience with other cats. They have coexisted peacefully with a dog in their last home, and it's uncertain how they’d react to children. As they settle into your home, you'll get to learn their likes and create routines that highlight their best qualities. Come meet Penelope and Hotch to discover how they can become an essential part of your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
