Story
Wisp is 10 years old. She is a beautiful and opinionated cat who is looking for her forever home. Wisp prefers to be admired from a distance, but also likes her cheek and ear scratches. She likes to be read/spoken to. She has come a long way since first being in foster and will now eat from her foster mom's hand and rub her cheeks on nearby furniture while purring. Wisp has her own way of showing affection, and is happy just to loaf nearby (preferably on her heated bed!) once she knows she can trust you. Wisp has shown interest in other cats (with a slow introduction), but she can also be the only cat in a home without children. She will do best in a home with a patient caregiver who will love her for who she is- cattitude included!This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!
