Cherry

My story

Cherry is a sweet girl who has the most adorable cherry stem looking whiskers we have ever seen! They are always curled and her fur has the most interesting texture. We have to wonder if there isn’t some Wirehair in her genetics somewhere. Cherry and her sister Blossom (that’s right, their names together are Cherry Blossom) came to us in March of 2024 with their sister Apple. Apple got adopted quickly since she is extremely outgoing. Cherry and Blossom have taken quite some time to come out of their shells. They spent a little while being fostered by Best Friend’s Bed and Biscuit where staff members were able to come into their room and help with socialization. They have come out of their shell even more with their current foster. Cherry has become quite the cuddler and loves to make biscuits on her foster. She also does the cutest little hop to mush against her hands when she wants to be petted. Blossom is also shy but very sweet. She took longer to warm up to their foster, but now comes up and meows for pets. Her favorite place is the back of the head scritches, and will also come up and “pat-pat” with her paw on her foster’s leg when she wants to be petted. She also has started sleeping at her foster’s feet at night or near her head! Both Cherry and Blossom may be shy, but they will make loving companions for someone willing to meet them where they are at and take the time to let them come to their people to open up. They are a bonded pair and do need to be adopted together. They do both have genetic stomatitis that will result in them eventually needing a full mouth extraction (FME), they will also need regular dental care until that time. Once they have the FME done, the stomatitis will not present with anymore problems and they have the same chance to live a long happy life as any other kitty, Right now they each dry kibble and wet food, but will have to eat strictly wet food once the FME has been completed.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Cherry, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
