Maine Coon kittens & cats in Colonial Heights, Virginia

Cloudy is about four years old and has already weathered a few storms in life, but those days are behind her now. She’s settling into the cozy indoor cat life and realizing that people aren’t so bad — especially when they come bearing treats! She’s blossomed from a shy, cautious girl into a total lap cat who adores pets, chin scratches, and curling up with her favorite humans. Cloudy would love a home with other pets—she just likes things at her own pace! With cats (and maybe even dogs!), she’ll do wonderfully as long as they’re respectful and give her a little time to settle in before trying to play. Cloudy has also shown that she can warm up nicely to new people! With calm introductions, she does really well and can be quite social once she feels comfortable. A home with older kids would be ideal, as they’re better at reading her cues when she wants a little space. With patience and gentle handling, she becomes wonderfully trusting and is happy to be picked up and doted on once she feels secure. Cloudy’s heart is healing, her confidence is growing, and she’s ready for her next chapter — one filled with love, comfort, and sunny days ahead.

I feel that this cat has potential for adoption because she has basically "adopted me". She waits for my truck each day until I get there to feed her and has hops in the truck with me to get warm during this so far unforgiving winter. I put a small pet house behind the bushes where she stays most of the time, but she likes to roam the parking lot and I'm afraid that one day some crazy tenant driving like a maniac might hit her. Once fed, she becomes very affectionate. I cannot take her inside my apartment because the rental company here charges an outrageous initial fee for pets and $35 a month every month thereafter. I'm much older, retired and on a fixed income and I simply cannot afford her food, litter, medical care or the monthly fees. I'm at my wits end as far as what to do with this situation and I hate that she has to endure this freezing weather. I seriously need help with this problem.
