My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We rescued Poppy from a kill shelter some 3 years ago (our original post is below). We found him a home but his person returned him to us because he was moving out of state. We love Poppy and while he is a little older, this time he deserves a forever home even more. Please consider an adult pet.


Poppy is a 9-month old sweetheart rescued from a kill shelter. He was brought there by his family and just as well - Poppy was born with a condition which caused his eyelashes grow inward and his eye openings were too small. He was probably in pain or discomfort through his kittenhood.

We took Poppy to our favorite vet for a corrective surgery and neutering and a few weeks later Poppy is a pure bundle of joy and love. Granted he looks a little rough - fur around his eyes had to be shaved for the surgery - but it has grown back. His eyes will likely have a squinty shape but they are not bothering him anymore, they are clear and yellow and his vision is purrfect.

Poppy loves people and adores other cats. He happily grooms his feline friends in his foster homes and plays happily with everyone who feels like it.

His foster mom told us that that he lies on his back and sticks his little pink tongue when he wants belly rubs. How cute is that!?!
