My story

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

Padilla was rescued along with her three kittens from the bed of a truck where they had been born. Initially skittish, she has blossomed into a beautiful, sweet, and affectionate cat who loves to be petted. The moment you touch her, she starts purring loudly, a clear sign of how much she enjoys companionship. Padilla has a calm, gentle demeanor and likes to spend time simply hanging out with her person. She also has a playful side and especially loves chasing ping pong balls around the house. She gets along well with other cats, though she’s also happy to be adopted on her own into a loving home. While she may be shy at first with new people, once she feels safe and settled, Padilla becomes a devoted and affectionate friend. She is vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas, and has tested negative on her combo test.

Padilla is being cared for by a member of the community.  To arrange to meet this cat or find out more, please fill out our application here: https://www.thedancingcat.org/adopt-courtesy
