About Opossum

Meet Opossum, a striking gray beauty with a journey of resilience and plenty of love to share. Estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old, this brave girl was found as a stray with a serious tail injury. After receiving the necessary medical treatment, including a partial tail amputation, she has healed beautifully. That shorter tail only adds to her charm and hasn't slowed her down in the slightest. Opossum has shown remarkable progress and is beginning to truly bloom. She's playful and affectionate, often enjoying cuddles on her own terms. While she isn't quite ready to be picked up, she is a sweet and calm companion. Opossum loves to observe the world around her, often found watching TV or exploring. Although she can be a bit shy at times, she lets you know when she's had enough petting. Food motivates her, especially human food. Dining around Opossum can turn into a bit of a challenge, as she's been known to sneak a bite or two despite being well-fed on schedule. She seeks a loving home that offers patience and reassurance, allowing her to continue gaining confidence. In return, she will provide affection and companionship. Opossum is ready to settle into a steady home, and if you have a soft spot for pets who are survivors, she may be the perfect match for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
