Mama Emily, as her foster mom calls her, is the perfect cat for someone who regularly fosters. She's the ultimate mother hen, keeping kittens in line while also playing and interacting with them. She would also do great in any home with other cats and dogs as she lives with them in her foster home now.
Emily's origin story is sad. She is from rural Oklahoma and was found with her newborn litter of kittens. A woman took them inside her home but her husband "didn't like the mom," and separated Emily from her kittens- forcing her to live outside while her newborn kittens were inside and not allowing her to interact with them. When they were finally reunited upon coming to Colorado, Emily was understandably protective and very attached.
She is a bit of an odd duck, in many ways. She still seems to be learning to trust humans. She is fine when forced into cuddling but she doesn't seek it out yet. Her love can be bribed with treats (she especially likes bits of chicken nuggets). She's nocturnal and is her playful, silliest self in the wee hours of the morning. She has an impressive vocal range considering her small stature. We know that she's not your typical loving cat and finding a home for her will be relatively difficult but we also think that after all the trauma she's endured, she certainly deserves a permanent and loving home.

More about this rescue
Soul Dog is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization founded with the mission to spay/neuter and protect animals. We are currently a small group of committed volunteers making a difference in the life of one animal at a time. As an all volunteer administration, all donations made to Soul Dog go directly to improving the health of the pets that share our lives.
Soul Dog is proactive in animal welfare advancing the need for spaying and neutering our pets to reduce overpopulation. We travel to rural communities on Native American reservations, where spaying and neutering will only happen if it is nearly free or very convenient. Soul Dog works with volunteer veterinarians to provide the spaying and neutering service at no cost to the public. Donations are used to defray the costs associated with medications, supplies, and the operating cost for clinics.
