About Sr Penny

Sr Penny is a stunning long-haired calico who returned to Whiskers Pet Rescue when her previous owner could no longer provide care. She boasts a magnificent fluffy tail and a sweet personality that shines through once she feels secure. Penny is FIV+, which means she can thrive in a home as the only cat or with another calm FIV+ feline friend. FIV isn't a death sentence; many cats live long, fulfilling lives, and Penny deserves the very best. She can be shy around new people and will need time to adjust to a new home. Additionally, she requires periodic injections for asthma to keep her symptoms in check. Penny has great manners and is affectionately playful once she warms up to you. We are eager to find her a forever home, so please apply online now!
