Story
Guinness would have every reason to be standoffish with people. She comes from a large outdoor colony, after all, and is still learning the ins and outs of indoor life. And while its true that Guinness would probably thrive in a quieter home, this very sweet, gentle girl astounds us every day with how much she loves humans. Even her meow is ultra-adorable! She is so quiet and will give you the daintiest meow to try and get your attention, says her foster dad. And when she does? Time for pets unlimited and, if Guinness has her way, a birds eye view of her surroundings. Much like her sister, Bailey, she enjoys perching on your shoulder if you pick her up. We haven't really seen her playing too much yet, but she definitely soaks up attention when you give it to her. For a stout dose of love, make room at your table for Guinness. - Buzz.

Story
Amanda's neighbor are the owners of this cat but apparently they have been neglecting it, always has a new injury and it's whisker are cut off. The neighbor finally agreed to just get rid of the cat, so Amanda grabbed it. Amanda isn't able to keep the cat so I'm taking it in as a stary. Talked to Animal Control and they don't seem to want to get involved at this time.
