Pandora

My story

Pandora's Personality &#239&#187&#191 Are you looking for a puppy rather than a kitten?!? This sweet, inquisitive kitty-puppy is quite talkative...greeting you with a range of meows and then engages in conversation. Now a teenager, Pandora is a special kitty who has defied the odds! We named her Pandora because when she was rescued all of the hardships she had endured were released (her Pandora’s Box was opened) so only good things would come her way in the future. When arriving in our care, Pandora was very sweet, but also very shy. She was suffering from a badly infected eye that was subsequently surgically removed. It didn’t, however, take her long to realize that she was safe in our care. Pandora has come out of her shell and has blossomed into a sweet, loving and playful girl. Pandora acts more like a puppy than a kitten. When she sees you, she pops down on the ground and rolls around to express her joy. She also wags her tail slowly from side to side like a dog. The minute you pet her she purrs nonstop. Pandora also loves to curl up next to you, sometimes in your lap, and sleeps by your side at night. She is also very playful - easily entertained by interactive play as well as initiating play on her own with toy mice and balls. She loves to bat them around then chase them. She also goes wild when offered a toy filled with catnip.  What Type of Home Pandora Needs Pandora needs a quiet home with a caretaker who will slowly introduce her to new people and new things. She has not been introduced to children, but would do fine with an older cat-savvy child (perhaps 12 yrs or older). So far, Pandora isn't receptive to another female kitty in her foster home who she can see through a screened door. This could change over time with slow introduction to the right other kitty. However, she is happy as a single cat as long as people are around to give her attention.  Where Pandora Came From This sweet girl was living outside a home with several stray cats. The caretaker did his best to feed these cats, but was not able to provide any vet care. Luckily Pandora, along with her mother and a subsequent litter, and another mom cat with newborn kittens were discovered by a kind woman who does rescue in Southwestern Virginia. With few resources to help cats in this part of Virginia, they were transferred to SPCA NOVA.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.
