About April

Meet April! This beautiful tortoiseshell mama no longer has to raise her kittens outdoors in harsh conditions. Rescued alongside her three little ones in early September, April is estimated to be around three years old and has likely faced many challenges as a street cat. While she's a good mama, she is a little shier than her playful kittens. April has been staying in a foster home and though she enjoys some gentle pets and skritches, especially at feeding time, she still keeps a little distance. She’s cautious but shows potential to become a loving house pet given time and patience. April is not interested in going back outside; she would thrive indoors, perhaps with a cozy window seat to watch the outside world. If you have room in your heart and home for two, considering adopting her with her smallest kitten, Audra, could help her adjust better. Together, they would bring love to your home. Every step she takes toward trust is a step toward a happy life. Click apply to start the adoption process.
