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

Meet Peekaboo – A Resilient Beauty Ready for a Fresh Start

Estimated birth date: 6/15/2024

Peekaboo may have had a rough start, but this stunning young cat is blossoming into a gentle soul with an abundance of love to give. Rescued at just 4 months old from a large community cat project, she spent the early part of her life battling painful medical issues. After months in the hospital, Peekaboo understandably learned to associate humans with scary pokes and prodding—and she kept her distance.

But now, at one year old, Peekaboo is healthy and making incredible progress. Her true personality is beginning to shine through. She’s playful, purry, and sweet, and she loves getting affection from volunteers when they visit her in her cage. As she gains confidence outside of her cage, she’s showing signs that she’s ready to leave the past behind and step into a loving forever home.

Peekaboo would thrive in a calm, quiet environment with a kind and patient adopter who understands that trust takes time—and that the rewards are well worth it. She’s treat-motivated and responds beautifully to gentle encouragement. Based on her mellow attitude toward the other cats in the facility, we believe she’d be happy sharing a home with another gentle, respectful feline friend.

If you're the sort of person who finds joy in watching a once-shy cat learn to trust and love, Peekaboo is ready to meet you. Give this beauty a chance to write her next chapter in a home filled with peace, patience, and kindness. The first step is to submit our online adoption application: https://www.fofct.org/adoption-application. Adopters must live within 45 miles of Stamford, CT.

Their facility at 1029 East Main Street in Stamford has an adoption area inside the Just Cats Store on the first level.
