My personality

My story

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

Virginia Slim has come a long way, baby! An adopter found her ditched on the street, zipped up in a carrier. She had a collar so we know she was once a housecat (another clue is she smelled like an ashtray, hence the name). All of this has been so stressful for her! She's now in a foster home and finally starting to relax. She loves to lounge on a pile of blankets, and she's getting all the Churu treats she can eat. She's even starting to play with toys! Ginny would do best in a quiet, single-cat home where she can call the shots. Let us know if you'd like to adopt her !

More about this rescue

We're primarily a TNR volunteer group, we trap, neuter and return feral cats in the community. We often find tame cats or young kittens during these projects and these cats make up the bulk of our adoptable cats here.
