Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tipper is a sweet little girl, getting used to indoor life. She is very petite, looks like an 8 month old kitten. She found herself in animal control twice within a couple months. First time her owners decided to reclaim her after a month. The second time they never showed up.
We suspect Tipper has had an abusive past, she wants love, but is hesitant to get it. Once she lets you touch her, she can’t stop rubbing all over you. When she first arrived with us, she would watch from a distance and meow for you to come see her, but then would go and hide when you approach her. She is getting better everyday, and really wants to be part of the family. Then she progressed to having some “safe spots” around the house were she will allow you to pet her. When she wants attention she runs to her safe spot.
Fast forward a year....Tipper loves attention, she demands it. She rolls for bellie rubs, comes running when you call her. Plays with toys. She even likes to be held. It’s hard to believe she is the same kitty. Now all she needs is her furrever family.
She is fostered with other kitties. She was hesitant of them at first too, but now has a couple buddies. Tipper is bullied by one dominant kitty and she tries to bully another (without luck). She gets along well with submissive or very playful kitties. Traveljunkie345@yahoo.com
