Lola

Domestic Shorthair

Female, Kitten

Naugatuck, CT

Size

(when grown) -

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Lola was brought in from outdoors when the nice lady that was caring for her, along with her mama (Trish) and brother (Oscar), called Foster and Forever for help. At first, Lola was very scared of everything and everybody, and was very spicy. She has come around nicely now with the help of lots of love and patience from her foster family. She runs around the house, playing with other cats and her mama, Trish. Lola will follow her foster mom around, rub on her legs, and look for pets. She will let you pick her up and carry her around, snuggled on your shoulder, and will purr the whole time. She has soft fur and beautiful swirly markings. She has made good progress while in her foster home, and how has the run of the house! She loves all the other cats in her foster home. She will let you pet her on her terms (when you can catch her), and will reward you with purrs. When Lola has had enough, you may get a swat. She loves her liquid and crunchy cat treats - she is very food motivated! Lola also enjoys toys and is very playful. The perfect home for Lola would be a calm one with no young children. She would benefit from being with other friendly cats to teach her, and an experienced cat owner who will be understanding and help her to work on her socialization. Lola's foster mom believes that, with love and patience, Lola will be a great addition to the right home. Lola was born around July 28, 2024. She is currently being fostered in Waterbury. She is fixed, is up-to-date on shots, is microchipped and tested neg for FIV/FeLV*. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved.
