My story

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

Rosie — Brave, Playful, and One-of-a-Kind

Hi, I’m Rosie. My life didn’t start easily, but I’ve shown nothing but strength, sweetness, and resilience through it all.

I was found in a shelter in Turkey, frightened and huddled in a metal cage, missing one of my back legs. We don’t know what happened to me, only that I had already endured far more than any cat ever should. If I hadn’t been rescued, I wouldn’t have made it out alive.

Now I’m safe — and discovering just how kind life can be.

Despite my rough start, I’m a brave, outgoing girl who settled into foster care right away. New spaces don’t scare me — I’m curious, confident, and ready to explore. I may be a tripod, but I have tons of energy and love to play. Wand toys, laser pointers, crinkly things — I’m all in. I’m smart too, and I’d probably enjoy learning tricks if you’re up for it.

When playtime winds down, I’m a total sweetheart. I like sitting next to you on the couch, curling up near your head at night, and I enjoy being held — as long as it’s on my terms. I’ll let you know when I’m ready for pets, and when I am, I soak them right up.

Because I’m very social and talkative, I’d do best with people who are around a lot — a work-from-home human, a couple, or a family who has the time and space to spend with me. I don’t love being alone for long stretches and truly thrive on connection.

I might prefer to be your one and only, where I can soak up all the attention and love — whether that’s with a work-from-home human, a couple, or a family who has the time and space to spend with me. A home with a bit of room (rather than a tiny apartment) would be ideal so I can play, explore, and burn off my energy.

I’m petite, teddy-bear cute, affectionate, and full of life. From a shelter in Turkey to a safe foster home — and now hoping for a forever family in the San Francisco area — I’m ready to blossom into the companion I was always meant to be.

If you can offer me the loving home I’ve been waiting for, I promise endless love, trust, and a very special bond.

More about this rescue

Every day adult and senior cats with treatable medical and behavioral conditions are euthanized. GIVE ME SHELTER's goal is to rescue these cats from certain death and place them into loving permanent homes.
GMS is a registered 501(c)3 organization and is dedicated to helping stop the overpopulation of unwanted and abandoned cats. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who are committed to bettering the life of adult cats who no longer have a home to call their own. Every time you adopt from us, you allow us to save another cat that would have otherwise died. We receive new cats into our system almost every week. Our website is constantly being updated, so please check back often!
