Calico, Domestic Short Hair - orange and white [Mix]

Sabrina II, as you can see, is a gorgeous and unusual calico. She is also declawed - what a bonus! Her circumstances of arriving at PAWS & More are a bit heartbreaking: Her owner surrendered her and her two housemates in tears. He was deployed on a military trip and, after weeks of searching, could not find anyone to take his beloved three cats. We are reducing Sabrina’s adoption fee by $50 so she can find a home quickly. She is 12 years young. Read on for an update from Sabrina’s foster home “mom.” As Sabrina's "foster mom", I can honestly say Sabrina is one of the easiest foster cats we have ever cared for. She is quiet, calm, affectionate in a reserved way and well-behaved. Sabrina has bothered nothing around the house; she has faithfully used her litter box and is such a good-natured kitty. Sabrina's lovely, calico coat is soft and so nice to stroke (which she loves); her gorgeous golden-green eyes express just how much she appreciates anything we do for her - truly a polite, little lady. Although shy and a bit scared in the beginning, Sabrina has quickly adjusted to her temporary home. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised - we fully expected Sabrina to hide for the first few days, but she warmed up to both of us shortly after arrival. It was obvious how relieved she was to be back in a "real" home; even though Sabrina received wonderful care at PAWS & More, shelter life proved to be quite stressful for her - the staff worried Sabrina's health might suffer. In our home environment she has blossomed, is eating well and seems happy and content. Occasionally Sabrina likes to "talk" to us - she expresses her feelings in a cute, tiny, "baby-doll" voice. Our biggest concern was how Sabrina and our other cats would react to each other. We introduced them gradually for short amounts of time - that seemed to work well. Most of the credit goes to Sabrina - no matter how "rude" (hissing, growling) some of our felines were to her, Sabrina always displayed submissive behavior and avoided confrontation. Everyone soon learned Sabrina was no threat, and they pretty much ignore each other now. Our two senior Pomeranians were worrisome to Sabrina - I don't believe she had ever been around dogs; but she quickly realized those strange, little creatures meant her no harm. We believe Sabrina would do well in an adult home, or in a home with older, respectful children. She would be great with "seniors". Toddlers and children who play rough or try to pick Sabrina up might prove too overwhelming for her. Although not a "cuddler", Sabrina enjoys being with us. She seems to have a soft spot for my husband, and will lie next to him or on his lap in "their" easy chair. Sabrina expresses affection by rubbing up against us, softly purring, flexing her "happy paws", and just recently, giving me gentle butterfly kisses on the nose. If you are looking for a sweet, "mature" kitty to be your special companion, Sabrina would be a perfect match. She is undemanding, enjoys observing daily activities (she does play a little) and is adaptable to most any routine. All she asks for in return is for someone to give her a loving, caring home, where she will be treated with kindness and respect. Can that be you?
