About Penny

Penny is currently in our Camp Purr working cat program, tailored for feral or semi-feral cats looking for a life outdoors. She'll thrive in a setting where she can be a working cat, so adopters must be ready to provide adequate shelter and regular food and water year-round. It's essential for Penny to be adopted together with at least one other Camp Purr cat since she’s familiar with her feline companions. Rest assured, all cats in this program have been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Together, you will guide Penny in acclimating to her new home. Do you have what it takes to give her the fulfilling life she deserves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
