Meet Precious, a 9-yr old, beautiful, long haired Tortie girl.
Precious is a sweet lady looking for a loving home to settle down in. She doesn’t require much from her humans — just a soft spot to take long naps, a safe place to watch over her kingdom from, and lots of gentle pets and brushing sessions. She especially loves forehead rubs and will gift you by allowing you to scratch her chin, which is a bright orange color. She also sometimes flops down at your feet so she can rub her head against your toes! Her vocalizations are very cute too — she sounds like a baby lamb or goat (“baaa!”).
Precious is an affectionate girl once she is comfortable and will do best with an owner who can be patient and give her plenty of space at first. Though she will warm up to her humans tremendously, she may swat or nip at you if overstimulated or touched in sensitive spots. She doesn’t mean you any harm (in fact she always asks for more pets immediately afterwards), it’s just her way of saying, “Please don’t touch me there!” Precious is beloved in her foster home and her foster parents will miss her very much when she is adopted! Precious should go to a home without other pets or children, though she will absolutely bring joy to a quiet adult household.
Precious is currently on prescription food, though we do not know if the vet will recommend this as a long-term plan.
