My story

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

Poppy could easily win the "Who's who?" contest for best personality. Her patience and sweetness are only matched by her curiosity and playfulness. Poppy "loves her food and lights up when she sees it - even breaking away from petting, although she still looks up to see if you're still there." After sharing her mealtime with our volunteers, she charms them with purrs as she warms their laps. Yet, just as easily, you can find her tearing after fake mice on the slip-slidey linoleum floor (or chewing on them, as the photos show!), or perking up her eyes and ears at the sound of pitter-patter raindrops on the sunroof.


Poppy, along with fellow kitty Pixie, had a bit of a rough start at RESCUE. Coming to us with colds, both had to be confined to their cages as RESCUE dealt with a feline distemper outbreak that took the lives of four other kitties who were rescued with them. Through it all, Poppy's patience shown through. One volunteer wrote that Poppy "has a unique way of looking into your eyes when you're talking to her as if to say 'I understand, you can't let me out'. I promised her when I could, we would play for a long time and she just nuzzled my hand in appreciation of what is to come." Now, Poppy's cold is long gone, she's enjoying her promised extended play session, and she's eager to find her new family. If you're looking for a kitty full of grace and spirit, then please consider adopting our sweet Poppy today!
