Story
Snuggles, (aka Wittle, because she was so little when we rescued her), also known as Baby Girl (which she loves), came to us while apparently nursing kittens. At the time she was only approx, 7 months old. She found shelter in a fox or groundhog den in the ground under boulders in the woods and would go there after eating. When she finally let us trap her, she was finishing nursing kittens according to the vet, and it became apparent that the kittens drowned during the torrential rainstorms here in New Jersey in July, 2023.
We had her spayed, vaccinated, tested for FELV/FIV, dewormed, she did not have ear mites or fleas, and she is microchipped.
Snuggles LOVES to be cuddled in her cat bed and kissed all over and even gives us her belly! She is cross-eyed and does not seem to jump high, but otherwise does not seem to have any visual impairments. She loves the laser light, and for us to dangle ropes and make them move on the ground like they are snakes.
Snuggles is elusive. She currently lives most of the day in her cage because our rescue does not have a room or free-roaming space for her. She comes up to you for petting, but we can't catch her. We wait for her to go into her cage, which is her safe haven, to eat and relax. Her behavior is normal for a cat that is confined, and we are sure that when she has a room of her own that she will get adjusted to being held.
Snuggles would be a great kitty to snuggle in a bed with a person. She is gentle and would be fine with a responsible child but we must give her time to get used to being held.
