My name is Carys!

Introducing Carys!  

Female DOB: Est Sept 2024

Carys’s story is one of resilience and hope. She was rescued from the harsh reality of street life when a desperate call came in about a barn overflowing with over twenty-five cats and kittens. Just a kitten herself, Carys arrived frightened and carrying new life inside her. It didn’t take long for her to learn that gentle hands could mean safety, and when she felt secure, she began to accept human affection. Just days after her rescue, she gave birth to five kittens: Bandicoot, Bilby, Crikey, Roo & Taz and proved to be an exceptional mother. Her foster mom named her Carys, a beautiful Welsh name meaning “love”—a perfect fit for her gentle heart. She cares for her kittens with incredible patience and tenderness, showing a strength that belies her petite frame.

Carys is a stunning short-haired orange tabby, her swirling coat and enchanting green eyes capturing the heart at first glance. She carries herself with gentle elegance, and her kind spirit truly shines through. Although her early days were filled with uncertainty and fear, Carys has embraced indoor life with remarkable resilience, growing not only into her own gentle nature but also into a loving, attentive mother to her five precious kittens. The patience and devotion she shows her little ones is awe-inspiring, revealing a strength and tenderness far greater than her delicate frame suggests.

Carys remains a gentle soul. While loud noises and unfamiliar faces may send her retreating to a safe perch, her heart is always open to those who approach her softly. She greets trusted humans with affectionate leg rubs and gentle head bunts, silently asking for love. As her trust grows, she has even begun to show her vulnerable belly—a sign of her blossoming confidence. She’s making wonderful progress with being held, sitting on laps, and getting her nails trimmed. After a few quiet moments on your lap, she’ll settle by your feet, content to be near you. She’s happiest lounging quietly in the same room as her humans, preferring gentle companionship over solitude.

Though Carys was born outdoors and had to grow up quickly, she never let her tough start harden her spirit. Now that her kittens are weaned, she’s rediscovering the playful side of kittenhood she missed. Her eyes light up at the sight of toys—from wand toys and balls to laser lights and plush mice—always eager to join in with her little ones. She’s fond of treats, especially tubes and Temptations, and her sweet meow lets you know when she’s hoping for a snack. Her purr is gentle and comforting, the kind that fills a quiet room with warmth.

Carys gets along with other cats and does well in their company, never reacting aggressively, even when faced with more boisterous feline personalities. If things get too lively, she simply retreats to a high perch to watch over the room, finding calm above the commotion. Carys’s ideal home is a peaceful one—a place filled with patient, gentle love where she can truly bloom and become the carefree, happy kitty she was always meant to be. She’s ready to share her heart and her quiet joy with a family who will cherish her and help her flourish.
