Hi, I'm Lucky! I love to cuddle and play, bringing joy with my happy purrs and smart tricks. I'm the friend you've dreamed of, always ready to listen and make you smile.

14. Kiki Diva

Adult · Female · Persian (long coat) · 17 mi from Union

This beautiful purebred Persian girl was born January 1, 2019, and is looking for a quiet, stable home where she can feel secure and settle in at her own pace. She is front declawed) She is a sensitive soul who can be strongly affected by changes in her environment and routine. She previously lived with another cat and tolerates both cats and dogs, although she doesn’t necessarily need their companionship.She was surrendered after she began having litter box issues following two significant changes in her home: her owner's daughter left for college and her longtime companion cat was rehomed. Because of this history, we feel she will do best in a calm, predictable household with an adopter who understands that stress can affect a cat’s behavior and is willing to give her plenty of time to adjust.Persians also require regular grooming and coat maintenance, so her new family should be prepared to keep up with her beautiful coat.

Adopting a cat in Union

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
