About Poppy

Poppy, true to her name, is a delicate little kitten ready to flourish with the right family. This sweet girl has a gentle and playful spirit, though she’s a bit on the shy side. Unlike her bolder peers, Poppy takes her time to assess her surroundings, ensuring everything feels safe before she ventures into playtime. Over time, her confidence has been blossoming, earning her the nickname "Birdie" from her foster mom, as she once resembled a timid baby bird. With each passing day, she discovers the joys of being a kitten, and it's heartwarming to witness her personality shine. To help her thrive, Poppy would thrive in a home with a friendly feline companion to guide her. A playful, confident cat can encourage her to be more adventurous and explore her surroundings. Poppy is currently in a foster home with dogs and is gradually coming around to them too, proving that she can adapt with gentle introductions. The ideal forever home for Poppy would be calm and understanding, filled with those who recognize that building trust takes time. Poppy needs a family that will cherish her small victories, whether she’s exploring a new space or inching closer during playtime. While she may not rush to demand attention, her journey to trust is truly special. With the right nurturing environment, Poppy is poised to become the wonderful cat she is meant to be. Currently in Chattanooga, TN, she is available for transport across the continental United States, though not to residents of Massachusetts. Click apply to start the adoption process.
