Look but don’t touch. This is Turtle (Cheesecake), who isn’t quite as sweet as her face and name may imply. Turtle was acquired from a previous elderly owner/semi-hoarding situation which makes her aloof and wary of humans. She will trot after you from room to room but likes to keep her distance. She is also unfortunately a massive coward who will run and hide if you look at her too long.
Turtle has some interest in humans and she often rubs her scent against objects that were just used. In very rare instances she will sleep at your feet (or on your butt) but if you so much as breathe, away she goes again. Turtle would do best with someone that respects her boundaries and waits for her to come out of her shell. She would prefer an adult only home or a home with older children who ignore her. Otherwise she’s a very energetic girl who loves to play with scratchers and felt toys... by herself. She also loves high places and window watching all the intruders outside her home. Some of her other favorite things include: soft armchairs, tent beds, Churus, giving you the stink eye, Churus, when you finally leave HER house, napping in the sun, rolling in catnip, Churus, and scowling at you.
Turtle has spent some time in foster care soaking up the (lack of?) attention and has done well being a solo cat, but she also does well with other respectful kitties, with slow and proper introductions. She is estimated to be about three years old and would be a good project cat for a kind cat-lover with lots of patience. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea treated, microchipped, vaccinated, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. If you want a cute but mischievous cat, perhaps Turtle (Cheesecake) could be your girl?

Additional adoption info
We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.
Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
