28. Momma Deena
Momma Donna is a very sweet cat. She will fit in with a family or a single person. She really likes being petted. She will tolerate being picked up, but prefers to sit on your lap or next to you. Momma Donna has not been exposed to other cats that we know of yet. She has met her foster Mom's dog a couple times and while she hissed initially (common reaction), she was able to relax on the bed while the dog lay in the same room on the floor. We think she would be fine with a dog in the home after a proper introduction.

Adopting a cat with children in Bowie
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
