Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Papaya
Est. DOB: April 19, 2015
Description: DSH Dilute Tortie
Gender: Female
Adoption Fee: $100.00
Papaya is a sweet gray girl who likes to snuggle and be with her people. She also loves to run and play. Her foster dad calls her a ninja because she stealthily pounces out from hiding places. Her foster mom calls her a sports car because she runs very fast with excellent maneuvering during turns when she chases toys or the laser pointer. Her favorite toys are the round ball chaser, laser pointer, and wand toys. Papaya enjoys sitting on her foster parents' shoulders while they work on a computer or walk around the house, and gives them kitty kisses. She likes to supervise whatever is going on in the house. Papaya also frequently “makes biscuits” on her people and her siblings, and is a fantastic masseuse.
One of our volunteers found the “P Fruit” kittens and their mother living under a vacant house that was demolished a few weeks later. Their mother and the cat who was likely their father have been TNRed, but the kittens were young enough to be socialized for adoption.
Fully vetted: tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted); treated for intestinal parasites, fleas, and ear mites; FVRCP+FeLV vaccinated (initial vaccination and booster); and rabies vaccinated; spayed/neutered; microchipped with Home Again microchips with rescue paid registration.
