She has yet to show signs of house training but is looking for a quiet home where she can progressively acclimate to her new surroundings.

About Wendy

Wendy is a lovely 10-year-old cat with a white-and-grey short-haired coat, a bubblegum-pink nose, and a charming little grey beauty mark on her lip. Recently surrendered, she has had a solid history with her previous family, having lived with them for nine years. Despite her age, she still has that youthful spirit. However, her recent behaviors—hissing and growling at loved ones—might suggest she's feeling a bit overwhelmed or perhaps dealing with some irritation from a UTI or arthritis, which could explain her sudden reactions. Wendy would thrive in a calm, low-traffic home where she can slowly transition into a new routine. She's demonstrated a need for a gradual introduction to new environments and people, as seen when she cautiously interacted with a staff member. A patient adopter who can "read" her body language will be key to making her feel secure. Interactive play and calming aids can also help her adjust better. Wendy is looking for love—are you the right match? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
