About Poppy

Poppy is a gentle senior cat, around 10 years old. Rescued from a challenging situation where she was one of 16 cats left behind, she is now looking for her forever home. Weighing in at a healthy 15 lbs, Poppy loves affection and attention. Though she's a bit shy initially, she quickly warms up, especially when treats are involved. She would thrive with another cat to help her adjust to a new environment. Poppy has experience living with a small dog and may do fine with a calm dog, though her exposure to larger dogs is limited. Her new family should focus on giving her the loving encouragement she needs, ideally to help her achieve an even healthier weight. Adoption within a two-hour radius of the Tri-County area is preferred; exceptions may be made for senior or harder-to-place pets. Poppy is spayed, vaccinated, and house trained, ready to bring joy to her new family. If you're looking to add a sweet companion to your home, Poppy could be the perfect fit.
