Hi, my name is Remmy! I am a cat on the go, all the time! Because I am such an active and playful cat I have to make sure that any adopter understands that I will need to play - more than the average kitty! I'll be your little supervisor! When we are not playing, I would love to sit next to you and supervise your computer work or tv show. When you are cooking, I'll come rub on your legs and supervise to make sure you are not dropping food. When you are not home, I'll happily supervise the critters outside the window! I enjoy soft chin and cheek scratches, and might bless you with a lap sit, but I work hard on my luxurious coat and prefer you not mess it up with lots of petting! I will do best in a cat savvy home where they can listen to my cues when I need some extra space to relax. I love to play, but I can be sensitive when it gets to be too much, so I may do best in a home without young children. Other cats can cause me stress, so I'd also like to be the only cat in your home.
Remmy is currently living in one of our wonderful foster homes. Adopting from foster is easy! Please email adoptions@hshv.org or call (734) 662-5585 to arrange a meeting today!
"Hi my name is Remmy. I'm 6 years old and I like rubbing on legs. I'd like my own space. I don't like being pet too much. I'm looking for a home without kids and I would LOVE lots of litter boxes. I'm a calm sort of girl and I'm looking forward to adoption." - written by a 2nd grader at Lakewood Elementary
"Hi, my name is Remmy. I am a cute striped cat. I am a meowlous cat! I am a pretty cat. I purr when I am happy and I like to rub your legs. I am six years old. When I get adopted I need lots of litter boxes. I will keep your lap warm because I like to sit on your lap. I am a purrfect cat so please adopt me." - written by a 2nd grader at Lakewood Elementary
