Penny

My story

Penny has been through a lot in her short life, but her sweet spirit continues to shine. Since January of 2025, she was seen living outside a home in Anaheim always in the yard, never allowed indoors, while a dog lived comfortably inside. Our rescue has been helping cats in that area, and Penny was always there… patiently waiting. We recently learned that Penny’s former owner was evicted in May due to drug-related issues, and heartbreakingly, Penny was left behind abandoned and no longer being fed. A kind neighbor stepped in and asked the homeowner for permission to help, and thankfully, Penny was surrendered to us. Since coming into our care in mid-May, Penny has shown us how gentle and loving she truly is. She enjoys being pet, seeks out human attention, and seems to know she belongs indoors with a family of her own. She’s calm, kind-hearted, and so deserving of a second chance. We are currently seeking a foster, foster-to-adopt, or adoptive home for Penny, somewhere she can decompress, feel safe, and finally experience what it means to be truly loved. Penny will fill your home with quiet affection and bring peace to anyone lucky enough to welcome her in.

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