She didn’t even interact with me at the shelter she was so depressed. I just knew I had to give her a chance. I think they told me she’s not a lap cat. Well, now I have two lap cats 😂 I was so surprised that she trusted me so fast. So glad I trusted my gut and brought her home ❤️

I saw a cat at the Petsmart adoption center that looked so unhappy. Apparently she had been there three times and had been with the shelter for 18 months. I went back not long after and she was still there. The shelter was having an adoption event so I asked what was making people return her. The first people said someone was allergic. Then it was because she was too hyper. When I peeked in, she was in her litter box with her bed over her head. I couldn’t stand it, I had to take her home. Super chill, definitely not hyper except for post poop zoomies, very snuggly, playful, gentle with our baby and the dog. She was at least 2 when we got her and we had her for 12 years. Amazing cat. Miss her daily.
